cpansmoke wrongly reports missing prerequisites in Makefile.pl

I use cpansmoke to do automated testing, and on occasion it will send FAIL reports because of missing prerequisites in Makefile.pl. However, most of these appear to be false. For example: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/132529 is a reply to one of the reports my system generated.

this seems to be an issue that is only coming out of the 0.048 version of CPAPNLUS. Can you try the 0.049 version (the most recent at the time of writing) and see if this solves the problem? Thanks

I've upgraded to v 0.049 and haven't had any issues since, however, I noticed a journal entry [1] which describes the same problem. The report [2] comes from a cpansmoker running CPANPLUS 0.049 (on a solaris machine). So, i think the problem still persists in 0.049. -Brian [1] http://use.perl.org/~cog/journal/19743 [2] http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/147125

Thanks for the report... we're close to getting a working 0.050 out the door, and it's been near impossible to track this issue down, since no one has been able to reproduce it. I think we'll have to live with it for now, focussing on 0.050 to solve the issue (which it most likely will, since it's a ground up rewrite). -- Jos Boumans How do I prove I am not crazy to people who are?
