Bug #48709 for Module-Install: YAML::Tiny dependency

Fri Aug 14 09:19:03 2009 bkb [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

YAML::Tiny dependency

When I installed this module using cpan Module::Install just now, it claimed that YAML::Tiny was only needed during the build, so I said not to install it permanently. After building it, I got the following error (twice): Cannot find an extension with method 'write_meta' at /home/ben/software/install/ lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Module/Install/Admin.pm line 186. I then installed YAML::Tiny from CPAN and this error disappeared.

This looks like problem of CPAN.pm, not Module::Install. Module::Install declares 'requires' dependency on YAML::Tiny. Also it requires it with 'configure_requires'. It seems that CPAN.pm does not analyze that it is also declared in 'requires'. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
