Subject: Looping dependency with DateTime-TimeZone
Attempting to install DateTime-0.35 on a perl-5.8.1 installation, I was able to satisfy all prerequisites except for DateTime-TimeZone. So I fetched DateTime-TimeZone-0.57 and satisfied all its stated dependencies, and it then skipped all its tests because DateTime was not installed. If the two distributions are necessarily codependent, should they not be a single distribution? I'm reluctant to install either one without testing it first. (I can supply full version information if needed, but this doesn't sound like a problem specific to the build environment.) Hugo
I'm going to resolve this. It's not really a bug, per se, and fixing it is not a simple task. If you want to discuss the problem, let's do it on the datetime@perl.org list.
