Subject: Crypt::DSA::Key ::PEM (Dependency on Convert::PEM Not Included)
When doing: $key->write(Type => 'PEM', Filename=>'FileName'); It will fail without Convert::PEM installed. Given that Crypt::DSA::Key::PEM is installed with Crypt::DSA by default, shouldn't that Convert::PEM also be a dependency? If _not_ then mentioning this in the document/POD could be useful. My DSA.pem file contains this line: # $Id: DSA.pm 1938 2006-05-03 06:20:36Z btrott $ My Key/PEM.pm contains this line: # $Id: PEM.pm 1830 2005-05-25 21:58:57Z btrott $ I installed using CPAN (cpan Crypt::DSA).
From: lloy0076 [...] adam.com.au
Ok, it's _not_ broken - it seems I didn't see CPAN wanting to install an optional module. Realistically if it does install Crypt::DSA::Key::PEM and requires Convert::PEM to actually work, the module should be a non-optional one. Possible I think differently to the author(s). DSL
