Subject: Prerequisites not mentioned completely
Hi, as of version 0.27, there are 2 necessary packages which are not mentioned in the 'PREREQUISITES' section of the README file: Test-Simple (for Test::More) Digest-HMAC (for Digest::HMAC_MD5) The file 'Changes' does only mention Test::More. I have found the previous bug report #1336 and I do not quite understand why it has been marked 'resolved' when the current CVS snapshot (as of 2002-08-16) does not mention Test::More in the README file. I have attached a simple patch for the README file. ciao Klaus PS: I could not choose version 0.27 in the web form, there is only 0.26 available.

I resolved it because I do not feel this is important. Show quoted text

Sense Test::More is in 5.8.0, and it is reported by the Makefile.PL file, I do not see the need to patch the README with this information. This file is the definitive reference with regards to dependacies. I may add the other modules to the README, but that simply adds another place where the information must be kept up to date. I think it might be a better idea to have the README inform the user that the Makefile.PL will list the dependacies. Show quoted text
