Subject: Why the File::Temp 0.17 dependency?
Version 1.01 of Test::Output claims a dependency on File::Temp 0.17 (down from version 0.21 in the previous version) but doesn't actually appear to use the module at all. I've built it on an old Red Hat Linux 9 system with File::Temp 0.13 and the test suite passes in its entirety; so why the dependency?

Red Hat Linux isn't the only operating system out there, so saying that it works for you isn't the same as saying that it works for everyone. :)

Thanks, I understand that - I just don't see where File::Temp is actually used: $ fgrep -r File::Temp Test-Output-1.01 Test-Output-1.01/Makefile.PL: 'File::Temp' => '0.17', # needs :seekable Test-Output-1.01/META.yml: File::Temp: 0.17 $ fgrep -r seekable Test-Output-1.01 Test-Output-1.01/Makefile.PL: 'File::Temp' => '0.17', # needs :seekable Is there an indirect dependency I'm missing?
