"You should always declare in your Makefile.PL (or Build.PL, or other build instructions) *all* the modules your code depends on. That's because older versions of perl have fewer modules in core"

I agree, but the modules in question have been core since 5/5.6.

"I presume that that is a list of all the modules used by the code"

Is it? Perhaps. Khen1950fx has a history of posts like this where there's no difference from doing cpan Module::Name, also forcing installs so potential problems are missed and even going so far as to create a module on cpan (infact I just found another, Task::Mechanistic, again pointless) to install another module. None of this makes any sense from a module installation perspecitve.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
