Subject: Module::Install won't run on 5.8.6
I used Module::Install to create a Makefile.PL file so that I can ensure that all needed modules are installed when I make a 'distribution' of my CGI script. When I run `perl Makefile.PL` I get the follow error message and the resulting Makefile is not written. include inc/Module/Install/WriteAll.pm Writing META.yml include inc/Module/Install/Win32.pm include inc/Module/Install/Can.pm include inc/Module/Install/Fetch.pm ERROR: perl: Version 5.008006 is installed, but we need version >= 5.008008 at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Module/Install/Makefile.pm line 158. Local machine information: OS: Mac OS X 10.4.9 perl: 5.8.6

if ( my $perl_version = $self->perl_version ) { eval "use $perl_version; 1" or die "ERROR: perl: Version $] is installed, " . "but we need version >= $perl_version"; } This is the error message if YOUR PACKAGE has that dependecy, not M:I itself.

Okay. Weird because my package does not have that dependency. Jeremiah

Swatting bugs here. M::I certainly does run on 5.8.6 with my testing; I've got modules that use it to install on everything back to 5.005_ancient, so I'm marking this as not-a-bug and closing it. If the problem still exists, then submitting a failing test case would be appreciating in tracking down what's going wrong.
