Thanks for the instruction. :-)
However, it is quite difficult to specify that requirement from
PAR's Makefile.PL, especially when installed from foreign package
managers, say PPM or FreeBSD ports.
If I create a Compress-Zlib-Static extension, which contains only
a single Makefile.PL, that downloads and assembles the required
zlib and Compress::Zlib automatically (with LWP and/or Net::FTP),
so I may be able to write:
PREREQ_PM => { "Compress::Zlib::Static" => 0 }
in PAR's Makefile.PL. Do you think it is a reasonable approach?
Thanks,
