Subject: DateTime has a recursive dependency?
A client of mine, installing DateTime from the CPAN shell onto a freshly minted Red Hat Enterprise 3 box, got the following. Show quoted text
cpan> install DateTime

Or something...? Given Red Hat's fairly large market share I imagine quite a few people might start to get this problem

This is fixed in the new DateTime::TimeZone (0.2601). You'll note that's what's failing here, not DateTime. But yes, it does have a recursive dependency. Show quoted text

No, it's just that one of the tests was failing. I should've just skipped them all before DateTime.pm is installed. Show quoted text

This has nothing to do with RH, though given my past experiences with RH screwups, the market share argument is highly unlikely to be of any weight with me regardless ;) -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
