| Subject: | Optional prereqs are not so optional |
The dialog about optional features in XML::Atom pretends that these five
modules are not hard requirements.
XML::XPath
LWP::UserAgent
Digest::SHA1
DateTime
XML::LibXML
So I skipped them all.
But when I ran the tests it turned out that any of the 5 missing leads
to failing tests. Well, to be precice, I installed them in the order
above and only after the fifth the tests succeeded.
This was with 0.23 with various bleadperls.
Please let me know if you need further info.
To remedy the situation, I uploaded the following patch to CPAN as
ANDK/patches/XML-Atom-0.23-ANDK-01.patch.gz
