| Subject: | Perl::PrereqScanner doesn't recognize warnings and strict |
Perl::PrereqScanner silently prunes some modules from the list of
prerequisites, namely qw(strict warnings lib feature). I think this is a
bug. At least there should be a way to disable this behavior.
I think it's a bug because my module actually uses and depends on
warnings (so it makes no sense to build it on 5.005). On the other hand,
it doesn't require a specific perl version per se, just a loadable
warnings.pm.
A similar argument applies to feature (and if some day someone makes a
working feature.pm for 5.8, it would be cool if everything just worked).
Finally, some doc bugs:
"It will trim the following pragamata: strict, warnings, and lib. base
is trimmed unless a specific version is required."
"pragmata" is misspelled and "feature" is missing from that list.
