Bug #33898 for Class-DBI-Plugin-FilterOnClick: Wrong prerequisite specifications

Fri Mar 07 19:25:37 2008 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Wrong prerequisite specifications

The Makefile.PL contains prerequisite specifications like 'Class::DBI::Pager' => ">1", or 'Class::DBI::Plugin::DeepAbstractSearch' => ">=.05", This is Build.PL syntax and does not work with Makefile.PL. Rather, the versions should be specified as plain floating point numbers, e.g. 'Class::DBI::Pager' => 1, 'Class::DBI::Plugin::DeepAbstractSearch => 0.05, Regards, Slaven

I still see these prerequisite specs in the 1.2 release. Regards, Slaven

You are correct. What test can I run to verify compliance with make vs. build? Where can I read the specifications regarding the correct way to reference a version number?

From the ExtUtils::MakeMaker documentation: | PREREQ_PM | | Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this | extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the | desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we | only check if any version is installed already. "Desired version" should probably be "minimum desired version".
