Subject: File::Spec dependencies confuses packaging
Would it be posible to bump the Cwd and File::Spec Dependencies to from 3.2801 to 3.29? Most of the File::Spec releases are 2 digit and when packaging via RPM, 3.2801 shows as greater than 3.29

What packaging system are you using? I suspect it's going to end up broken in many different situations if it can't handle Perl's dependency versioning. Adam On 11 March 2012 21:37, Todd Rinaldo via RT <bug-File-Remove@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

RPM. I've been maintaining ~800 RPMs of perl module distros for going on 3 years now. There are surprisingly few modules I have to work around with respect to this problem. The major offenders are: 1. depending on Cwd 3.2801 rather than 3.29 2. DateTime relatives depending on a 4 digit version when DateTime has mostly 2 digit versions on CPAN. Save those 2, pretty much everything else will work with RPM logic. In most of the cases I've had addressed, there wasn't a particularly good reason to say: require 3.2801 instead of 3.29 Todd

Moved dependency to 3.29, fixed in File::Remove 1.52
