I'm sure I'm not the only person to be amused that you dislike TT because it has so many dependencies...
I admit - TT does generally seem to Just Work these days. I think any problems I once had must have been resolved by the folks working on TT or perhaps on my end by just not trying to install it on a box running RedHat 9 :).
but your module has all kinds of dependencies which are harder to build and configure, such as Apache2.x and mod_perl2.x and at least the fifteen modules you list in your Makefile.PL!
I agree - Apache2, mod_perl2 and libapreq2 generally need some Know-How to get working properly. I hope to address this in the upcoming "How the heck to I install this thing" documentation.
As for the other modules - my limited experience has shown that they all install quite easily. My limited experience installing Apache2::ASP has been mostly on RHEL4 and Fedora6. Now that Apache2::ASP::Session::MySQL comes by default, I'll need to add DBD::mysql to the dependency list.
Before the v1.0 release is made, I'll make sure to adjust the required version numbers to the bare minimums.
Thank you for the constructive criticism - it is very much appreciated!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
