Subject: Prerequisites are not properly defined
I went to setup Alzabo today to try all the great features I've been hearing about. The installation via CPAN was a bumpy ride due to undefined prerequisites. I often had to exit the installation process and install a prerequisite. Most Perl packages can automatically figure out what prerequisites are required. Alzabo spit out a message about wanting a few modules but that wasn't enough to prevent CPAN from attempting to begin the make process which failed miserably due to the following missing packages-->Graphviz, Params::Validate, Class::Factory::Util, and HTTP::BrowserDetect. Furthermore, and the reason which I classified this report as severe, Alzabo fails to install if an older version of Module::Build is installed (specifically 0.15). Ins this case, the Alzabo install script didn't even mention that I should get an updated version of this module. Hope you're able to fix these dependencies to make the install process smoother for other potential users. Regards, William

More details please. Did it try to install _any_ prereqs? How did you answer the various install questions? -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
