Bug #20210 for WWW-Search-MSN: Unlisted Dependency (Encode)

Fri Jun 30 16:04:46 2006 PURDY [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Unlisted Dependency (Encode)

In trying to use this module on an old stable Debian box, it does install, but fails to run b/c of a dependency in the module that's not listed in the Makefile.PL. Basically, the module has a 'use Encode', which I couldn't/can't install b/c the version of Perl is 5.6.1 and Encode needs 5.7.3, even in its original version. Ideally, you'd come up with a work-around that doesn't depend on the decode function, but more realistically, you'd list Encode as a required module. Thanks!

Hi Purdy! Thanks for reporting this. Encode is now listed in a dependency in WWW-Search-MSN-0.0102 that was just uploaded to the CPAN. I linked to this bug and credited you in the "Changes" file. Regards, Shlomi Fish
