Hi,
In one of my automated build runs, i noticed that the dependency
on 'IO::File' is being resolved as being on CPAN in IO-1.20.tgz
rathern than the perl core[1]... which is odd, as the core version is
quite a bit more recent.
Also, IO-1.20.tgz fails building on at least my machine, and looking
at testers.cpan on quite a few more boxes[2].
I suggest PAUSE remove IO-1.20 as authoritive for the IO::*[3] modules
and let them be indexed as 'core' instead.
Thoughts?
