Bug #29430 for CPANPLUS: Remove LWP as a dependency for CPANPLUS::Internals::Report

[10:13] <+BinGOs> I was musing the other day like I do. [10:14] <+BinGOs> and wondering if there was a better way of retrieving the stuff from cpantesters.perl.org than using LWP [10:14] <+BinGOs> or rather using something that is 'lighter' [10:14] <+kane[work]> .oO( LWP::Tiny! ) [10:15] <+kane[work]> bingos: hmm, shouldn't we be using file::fetch for that? [10:15] <+BinGOs> probably./ [10:15] <+BinGOs> because we have File::Fetch already. [10:16] <+kane[work]> let me check [10:17] <+kane[work]> bingos: no we suck [10:17] <+kane[work]> that code still uses LWP [10:17] <+kane[work]> rt.cpan me, i'll fix it [10:17] <+BinGOs> will do. [10:18] <+kane[work]> in that case you can do it with wget, curl, lynx and lwp [10:18] <+kane[work]> that should do the trick really [10:18] <+BinGOs> and one less thing to install to get smoking working [10:18] <+kane[work]> yeah, also, Fiel::Fetch is bundled, where lwp isn't [10:19] <+BinGOs> and we'll catch those people who require LWP but don't have it explicitly specified as a dependency Ticket to use File::Fetch to retrieve .yml files from cpantesters.perl.org instead of relying on the extra dependency of LWP. Many thanks. -- Chris Williams aka BinGOs PGP ID 0x4658671F http://www.gumbynet.org.uk ==========================
