I did, but if you ask me what they were, I've forgotten. I remember running
the command two or three times, getting different errors on some of the
dependencies, and then shrugging and moving on. My biggest problem wasn't
installation, but the sheer amount of dependencies - something like 20
additional modules needed just for an iTunes parser? That's insane. That's
just a personal preference though. Annnyways, running it now, the last I
get is:
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
blib/lib/Mac/iTunes/AppleScript.pm line 10.
# Compilation failed in require at (eval 38) line 2.
FAILED--Further testing stopped: Mac::iTunes::AppleScript
did not compile make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 35
The very first error I get is in Test::Pod:
t/pod_ok.......NOK 3# STDERR is:
# # Failed test (t/pod_ok.t at line 36)
# # Pod had errors in [t/pod/bad.pod]
# # *** WARNING: No numeric argument for =over at
line 9 in file t/pod/bad.pod
# # *** ERROR: =over on line 9 without closing =back (at
head1) at line 13 in file t/pod/bad.pod
# # t/pod/bad.pod has 1 pod syntax error.
That starts cascading into errors in Text::Prereq:
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/Users/morbus/.cpan/build/Test-Prereq-0.18/t/pod.t line 8.
Can't locate object method "ARRAY" via package "B::begin_av" at
/Library/Perl/B/Module/Info.pm line 49.
There's probably another fifty cascading errors past that.

Oh? Any ideas off the top what's missing?

Heh, funny - I'm a huUUge fan of Text::Template, but decided not to
use it because I wanted the script as standalonish as possible.
