Subject: Incorrect File::Spec prereq in Makefile.PL
The Authen::Captcha module depends on File::Spec's splitdir() object method. This method is not in all versions of File::Spec (0.6 on our system, for example, does not have it) but the prereqs in Authen::Captcha's Makefile.PL only require File::Spec have a version number => 0. If the method is missing, 'make test' returns the following error: Can't locate object method "splitdir" via package "File::Spec" at blib/lib/Authen/Captcha.pm line 27. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/1.t line 22. The File::Spec problem is documented here in reference to another package's prerequisites: http://docs.huihoo.com/template-toolkit/Release/Changes.html Our OS info: SunOS sapphire 5.8 Generic_117350-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
