| Subject: | Please make Alien::Tidyp a dependency |
HTML::Tidyp needs the tidyp library however, many Linux distributions do
not have packages for tidyp most notably Ubuntu and Debian.
Please make Alien::Tidyp a dependency of HTML::Tidy. Alien::Tidyp will
automagically install tidyp. This would make things much easier for
users who would avoid the need to debug install failures of HTML::Tidy
due to a missing library. These failures are all the more confusing
because often times HTML::Tidy is being installed because it is a
dependency of another module not because the user installed it directly.
Even if a user knows that she needs to install tidyp for HTML::Tidyp to
work, installing tidyp from source is a hassle. At the very least the
HTML::Tidyp documentation should mention Alien::Tidyp.
