| Subject: | IO::File dependency could be reduced to 1.09 |
Today I observed that IO::File is only used in the test suite of
Test::Class, and that all these uses pass with an older version. I
tested with 1.09. Lowering the required version in Build.PL may make
Test::Class accessible to more cases.
For me, I noticed that IO::File has an XS component, and I wanted to use
Test::Class in a project where we check our CPAN modules into source
control, and then use them across multiple architectures. So, XS
modules that are compiled for each platform are a headache, and are nice
to avoiding adding and installing them if necessary.
Since Test::Class doesn't actually need IO::File to run, it would be
nice to depend on as old a version as possible.
Thanks!
