| Subject: | PAR::Dist fails to install when zip, unzip, and Archive::Zip are all unavailable |
The module knows about the issue, because it says what's wrong in the
middle of the output, but there is no checking for these prerequisites
until 'make test', so it explodes in the user's face instead of being
polite up front.
Installing the 'zip' and 'unzip' packages on my Linux box made
everything work just fine. cpan(1) output follows:
------
