Subject: build of GraphViz-2.05 fails due to use of non-standard module File::Which
in Makefile.PL / Build.PL of GraphViz-2.05 there is a "use File::Which" right at at the beginning. as File::Which is a module not installed by default, build of GraphViz instantly fails on standard perl installations. solutions: - leave Makefile.PL as it was before (i.e. 2.04) or - check for presence of File::Which first / declare it as a build-requirement

Thanx for the report. My home-grown program which checks for pre-reqs had a bug in it, in that it didn't check programs whose names ended in capitals - i.e. /PL$/ - and hence it didn't check Build.PL and Makefile.PL. I'm releasing V 2.06 right now. -- Ron Savage http://savage.net.au/ Ph: 0421 920 622
Fixed in V 2.06.
