Hi there,

am currently building a 7.10 from a very basic Ubuntu build host that I had
debootstrapped.

For completeness, I did run the

version-check.sh

as I worked through the book and everything reported OK.


A bit further into the build, though, I was told that I didn't have the

Getopt::Std.pm

module.

Easy enough to fix and whilst it might be "overkill" for the book, which
probably assumes that folk have a build host that's not as stripped down
as a debootstrapped OS install, it struck me that might be worth adding
in an explicit check for that one Perl module ?

The file, AFAICT is /usr/lib/perl5/*/Getopt/Std.pm.

Why did you strip that out? This is essentially a library. We don't search for every library that we need and Getopt/Std.pm is part of a standard perl install.

I am against adding this to version-check.sh because it is too much of an edge case, but I am open to other opinions.
