| Subject: | False Positive! Module::Install only supports 5.005 or newer Failure |
When moving my module to a second (third, fourth) machine,
Module::Install refuses to run based on the perl version being too old.
But these machines are ubuntu 10.04 with stock perl 5.10.1.
FYI: skipping this check on line 175 (as below) makes everything work
just fine for me. I have worked around it but anybody else with stock
setup should get caught.
Cheers!
John
