The perl build system predates the 'configure; make; make install' system which most packages now use. These warnings are the same as warnings from a configure script - the developer wants to bring them to your attention. Like many other perl modules, this package is not much use on its own, it's normally installed because something else requires it. Maybe a later package will need it, or perhaps it's needed by your own scripts. I have to guess here, because as far as I can remember this package isn't in the BLFS book. The test, as always, is whether it provides what it's user is looking for. That is almost certainly a run-time test : either your application or script works without these other libwww dependencies, or it doesn't. FWIW, I have exactly one package on my desktops which needs libwww-perl. I've stuck with libwww-perl-5 (currently I'm using 5.837) because these dependencies (plus any packages that they themselves might require) are new in 6. I assume that some of them are for extra functionality, but it's possible that some of the existing functionality now requires these other packages. For me, libwww-perl-5.834 had worked fine in my one limited use of it, so I was not inclined to add a whole host of extra packages. If you know that you need libwww-perl-6, rather than just libwww-perl, then you probably want some or all of these dependencies. If in doubt, read any documentation in libwww-perl, or in it's website if there is one, or at CPAN. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
