t/load_core.t line 56 tried to use 'Devel::REPL::Plugin::LexEnv'. Can't locate Lexical/Persistence it appears to be defined in the makefile and metadata but cpanm didn't install it, perhaps feature means optional, and it's actually "Test Requires" also then having it crash due to a missing File::Next and Data::Dump::Streamer was frustrating -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xenoterracide%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Chicago

feature does mean optional, and if you install the distribution in interactive mode (with cpanm --verbose, and PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT not set), you will be prompted for what features you want to use, which will install these optional dependencies. (cpanm also has an option to install recommendations; or at least it did, but I can't find that in the docs right now. I've poked miyagawa about that on #toolchain.) You should still be able to install the distribution itself, and pass all tests, even if you decline any or all of the optional features. Show quoted text

This sounds like the same issue as above.

the tests failed for me without Lexical::Persistence, I'd have copy-ed the error but windows terminal sucks. I had to install Lexical::Persistence before the tests would pass. Basically I think this is not considered an optional test by the test, but I haven't checked that. then with just typing re.pl and it not working, seems a bit unfriendly to me, but that's my opinion. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xenoterracide%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Chicago

I cleaned up the prereqs in 1.003019 -- please give that a try.
