Subject: auto_install / installdeps not working properly
I would like to use Module::Install to help install dependencies for an application. I put "auto_install()" into my Makefile.PL, per the example. (Although, I noticed that putting "auto_poop()" in there doesn't generate an error, so I'm not confident that the the presence of "auto_install()" without an error means much... ) I also added a line for a module I didn't have: build_requires ( 'Not::Here' => 0 ); I then ran "perl Makefile.PL" At this point "make installdeps" does nothing, instead of attempting to install "Not::Here", which it warned my I didn't have. Inspecting the Makefile, I find: installdeps :: $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) I had expected that "make installdeps" would actually install the missing dependencies. Thanks! Mark

Hrm... can't help you with this specific case, the depsy stuff is mostly audrey. But can you file a seperate bug against the autopoop case, which I can probably deal with next time I find a Module::Install timeslice. Adam K Guest via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Hi. Not totally sure why this happened when you tried but now this looks working correctly (unless you do something wrong like putting an unknown command etc). So I close this ticket. If you still think this is a bug, please reopen this, and provide more complete information including your Makefile.PL, output of Makefile.PL etc. Thanks.
