This is a fundamental problem with automatic perl requires. A lot of tools can optionally use perl modules if they are available and if they aren't it doesn't break anything, the functionality isn't available. These shouldn't be requires, problem is now we have to know all these exceptions and exclude them from the requires, which IMHO is a bigger pain to figure out and deal with than the ones that really are required. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you." -- Nietzsche
