Subject: Unjustified dependency on ExtUtils::AutoInstall
I just encountered the following which seems like a bug to me. Maybe the bundled Module::Install is ancient or incomplete? The main problem here is that I would expect that a dependency on ExtUtils::AutoInstall is usually bogus. If it is not declared in the Makefile.PL, it raises my doubts about correct behaviour. Could you please clarify? CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AD/ADAMK/ThreatNet-IRC-0.01.tar.gz ==> ExtUtils::AutoInstall 0.49 required. Install it from CPAN? [Y/n] n Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::AutoInstall::_make_args called at inc/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm - /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Module/Install/AutoInstall.pm line 46, <STDIN> line 1.

All those packages are hideously old, ignore them. I'm combining several together and rereleasing shortly. Adam K Andreas Koenig via RT wrote: Show quoted text
