Subject: Undeclared dependency on Exporter
While watching cpan testers results I discovered that Biblio::COUNTER uses a modern feature of the Exporter that was not available in perl 5.6.2. So when a user with perl 5.6.2 with the original Exporter tries it they get FAILs. For example see http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/02/msg3175554.html This can be avoided by declaring Exporter 5.59 as a prerequisite. Maybe the version number can even be lowered but I have no older Exporter available. I tried it with 5.59 and it passed the tests. Thanks,

Fixed in release 0.10. I was using the newfangled "use Exporter qw(import);" when really I should have just used the old reliable "require Exporter; use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = qw(Exporter);".
