Subject: Data::Random dependency problematic
Data::Random behaves, well, randomly in its test suite, see http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Data-Random&maxver= Typically another installation attempt of Data::Random usually works, but it is bothersome. This means that often an installation attempt of WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller fails. Unfortunately it seems that Data::Random is unmaintained, no release since 2003 and bug reports at RT look unanswered. It would be nice if you could get rid of the Data::Random dependency, or make the presence of it optional, or maybe fix the module. Regards, Slaven

In the meanwhile, Data-Random has a new maintainer a test results look good. Assume fixed. Regards, Slaven
