It is platform specific, so, if this is to be explained somewhere this is not someting I, (or, I believe Karl) can do. There is already this in the tp README for a platform we know about: On Debian-based distros, Test::More is part of perl-modules and thus installed with perl, the packages corresponding to the other modules are named: libdata-compare-perl libtest-deep-perl On other platforms, user familiar with those platforms should propose something, but we cannot do that ourselves. > Or maybe these modules should be part of the distro, like > Locale::Messages, Unicode::EastAsianWidth, and Text::Unidecode that > already are. I think that we should only bundle modules that are needed for run time not for build time/tests. -- Pat
