Hello It is not possible to require CPAN client version: 1. It is not known which CPAN client will be used, there are 3 of them 2. Even if correct CPAN client is required and was installed, it will not be used to install/test this module because CPAN clients do not restart automatically.
And even if it would work, in this case it would not help, because it was problem with auto_install in other module. 2014-04-22 22:17 GMT+03:00 Daniel Staal <dst...@usa.net>: > --As of April 22, 2014 9:46:26 AM -0700, Karen Etheridge is alleged to have > said: > >> On Mon, Apr 21, 2014 at 11:25:48PM -0400, Daniel Staal wrote: >>> >>> If you truly need a minimum version of CPAN, declare it.
