| Subject: | Test suite fails due to missing dependencies not listed in PREREQ_PM |
When installing Email::MIME::CreateHTML, the test suite fails if the LWP and Filesystem resolver
modules can't be loaded. The dependencies for these modules are not listed in the Makefile.PL,
so it's not possible for automated tools like cpanp/cpanm/etc to satisfy those dependencies.
I would like to suggest that either the dependencies be listed in Makefile.PL, or the test suite
changed to skip, instead of fail, when those dependencies are not present.
Simply installing the missing dependencies results in successful tests.
The attached patch added PREREF_PM entries for URI::file and LWP::UserAgent, which were the
two modules that LWP.pm and Filesystem.pm were unable to find.
