Unable to build on FreeBSD-11.1

Today, as part of a project in which I assess the perl-5.28.0 readiness of CPAN distributions high up on the CPAN river -- modules upon which many other modules depend -- I attempted to install this library against perl-5.27.11 on FreeBSD-11.1. I got failures during 'make' as logged in the attachment. Is this module still under development? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

No, sorry it's not been released since 2009. I'll try to backpan my Mozilla:: modules. I'd be surprised if anything depends on it except Mozilla::Mechanize , which is probably obsoleted by WWW::Mechanize::Firefox anyway.

It does have reverse dependencies. See: https://metacpan.org/requires/module/Mozilla::DOM?sort=[[2,1]] But if it's not being actively maintained, then, yes, moving it to backcpan would be a good idea. That would prevent it from showing up in calculations of the "CPAN river" such as those I am using in "blead-breaks-CPAN"-focused testing. Thanks for your quick response. Jim Keenan
