Several people have mentioned that the CT2.0 Metabase modules are
asking for some core requirements that are too high to be satisfied on
older Perls. I'll fix that when I get a chance.  In the meantime, just
force install things and see if works anyway.


For anyone keeping score, we've had about 3000 reports submitted by
beta testers so far.

Thanks,

Hello,

I went digging around and it seems like Perl 5.11.X and Perl 5.10.1can install Metabase::Fact with no problems. Using any older perl willNOT work :(

It might be a bug in CPANPLUS, but setting force still doesn'tinstall it! I don't use CPAN.pm so I'm not sure if it has the sameproblem...
