Sorry I don't have quotes but I was not subscribed to the list yet. Looking at the dependency chain for perl-core, it brings in perl-devel directly and as a prerequisite for modules such as perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker and perl-ExtUtils-Miniperl. Assuming perl-devel is what brings in the C development toolchain that's undesired, would this be a possibility, however distant (direction suggested by hobbs on IRC): remove the perl-devel dependency from these modules, and have 'perl' then be able to install everything else - the whole set of expected core modules?
Side tangent, but Perl 6 is its own future, it has only the same relevance to the future of Perl 5 as Python and Ruby do. -Dan _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
