Yes, unless you specifically tell the CPAN shell to not do so. Otherwise,
it presents errors to you telling you what the problem was.
cpan> o conf prerequisites_policy
prerequisites_policy ask
This can be "follow", "ask", or "ignore". Either you have it set to
"ignore", or you were "ask"ed and said no, or it did try to install and
failed, and you ignored that error. I can think of no other possibility.
And even if it didn't try to install Mac::AppleEvents::Simple, the
Makefile.PL would warn you of the problem when you did it by hand:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mac-glue]$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Mac::AppleEvents::Simple 1.14 not found.
Writing Makefile for Mac::Glue
Perhaps I was wrong to assume you had ulterior motives, but this has come
up twice in the last year from you, and both times you snipped the part
where you were told which module was missing.
