I've tried to reproduce this, but haven't managed. No matter what i do, it always passes. I've
tried installing/using older versions of the prerequisites, but CPANPLUS always picks up on
those and grabs the Right Ones.
There's a few things Odd about that report though:
===
[MSG] [Sun Oct 9 02:42:22 2005] Module 'Test::Benchmark' requires 'Test::NoWarnings'
version '0' to be installed
[MSG] [Sun Oct 9 02:42:22 2005] Module 'Test::Benchmark' requires 'Test::Tester' version
'0.103' to be installed
[MSG] [Sun Oct 9 02:43:32 2005] cp lib/Test/Benchmark.pm blib/lib/Test/Benchmark.pm
===
There's 1 minute and 10 seconds between CPANPLUS noting the missing prereqs, and
running 'make' on Test::Benchmark.. it *should* have been grabbing the prereqs in the
meantime, but it's missing from the logs.
This may be explained by point #2:
===
This report was machine-generated by CPAN::YACSmoke 0.03.
===
There's some munging of outputs etc done by that module, which might explain the missing
text.. that does mean i have insufficient diagnostics to reproduce or fix whatever happened
though.
Point #3:
===
PREREQUISITES:
Here is a list of prerequisites you specified and versions we
managed to load:
Benchmark 1.07
Test::Builder 0.22
Test::NoWarnings 0
Test::Tester 0
===
Both prereqs show up as 'loaded', so CPANPLUS *did* grab them to be installed... the weird
thing is why the test failed then, if you're 100% sure that's due to the fact of the version
being too low....
Cc'ing robert here, perhaps he has some opinions on the matter
