Subject: Unnecessary Dependencies
Hi Kevin, Thanks for creating the Compress::Zlib bundle - been meaning to do it myself. Not sure about your choice of dependencies though - the majority of modules you have listed have nothing to do with Compress::Zlib. Is there a reason for having them? Paul

Hi Paul, Thanks for your observation. The dependencies that I listed were found when I traced-back through the prereqs; however, it could just be my personal tastes. I'm open to suggestions---which dependencies would you like to see eliminated?

It's easier to list what's needed, which are these Scalar::Util IO::Compress::Base Compress::Raw::Zlib IO::Compress::Gzip Compress::Zlib The same comments apply to Task-Compress-Zlib, and I'm sure Bundle- Compress could be cut down as well. cheers Paul
