| Subject: | Hard-coded DBI version prerequisite in Makefile.PL is broken |

I expect my CPAN toolchain to read a modules prerequisites and install any
that are missing. In my test case I have DBI 1.616. I expect, like any
other CPAN module, that since DBD::CSV requires at least 1.628 that the
latest DBI would be installed before DBD::CSV is installed.
Instead I get:
Trying to use DBD::CSV with DBI-1.616 is heading for failure.
DBD::CSV is relying on DBD::File, bundled in the DBI release and does
require features not present in this version of DBI.
I would suggest removing the DBI check from Makefile.PL and instead let the
CPAN tools do their job following dependencies.
Details below.
Thanks,
Aran
Try it yourself (1.616 is no longer on CPAN, so using 1.621):
