| Subject: | File-HomeDir-0.64 fails to install on Darwin |
In the course of trying to install Template::Toolkit tonight, I was prompted to add File::HomeDir.
I thought this was surprising, because I've had File::HomeDir installed for some time -- and
every time I use the cpan shell that fact is noted.
So the shell prompted me to install the latest File::HomeDir, but that, in turn, prompted me to
install Mac::Carbon. Now, although I'm on Darwin, I have never had need of those CPAN
modules oriented toward pre-OS X Macs. So I was rather annoyed at this prompt. I dutifully
said yes -- but then the installation of Mac::Carbon failed, with a message saying that Mac::Files
could not be located in @INC -- even though it's part of the Mac::Carbon distribution!
So because of these non-desired prerequisites, I can no longer get the latest version of
File::HomeDir. (Template::Toolkit installed nonetheless; don't ask me how.)
