| Subject: | PPM-2.1.7 relies on SOAP::Lite but does not list it PREREQ_PM |
Line 23 of lib/PPM.pm:
use SOAP::Lite;
http://search.cpan.org/src/MURRAY/PPM-2.1.7/Makefile.PL:
'PREREQ_PM' => { 'Archive::Tar' => 0,
'Compress::Zlib' => 0,
'XML::Parser' => 2.09,
},
Unless there is some (undocumented) rationale for not listing
SOAP::Lite among the prerequisites for successful operation of
PPM, this is a serious omission.
For one example, if you wanted to use ppm on Cygwinperl to query
available of ppm packages for a Win32Perl installation, this prereq
would not be fulfilled by default: Cygwinperl does not ship with
"SOAP::Lite".
Regards.
