I put in the version #s as per what I have installed. I'm using perlbrew & V 5.12.2. I'll examine how to wind back these requirements... I had a look at /usr/lib/perl/5.10.1/Data/Dumper.pm and it says V 2.124. I could do that for each pre-req. > Also do we really need all this DBIx stuff? The test code uses DBIx::Admin::CreateTable and DBIx::Admin::DSNManager. Data::Session doesn't. Of course that code could be re-written and included within Data::Session without those modules. I'm reluctant to do that, because there's already a Deb package for DBIx::Admin::CreateTable (that's why 'All rights reserved' was removed from the licence section in V 2.06), and I believe DBIx::Admin::DSNManager deserves its own Deb package. Nevertheless, if you think it's worth rewriting that code, feel free to say so. > On 06/07/11 01:01, Ron Savage wrote: > > Hi Nick > > > > On Tue, 2011-07-05 at 17:45 +0100, Nicholas Bamber wrote: > >> Ron, > >> I was commenting because the Debian Perl group's systems are confused > >> by this state of affairs.
