I've just finished (finally) assembling and rearranging all of the bits
and pieces necessary to cleanly install an RPM-packaged version of
Razor2 on a current RedHat 7.3 box;  and in the process I discovered
that the listed perl module depencies on razor.sourceforge.net aren't
quite accurate.

To be a little more specific:

-> There is no module Digest::HMAC_MD5
   There are Digest::HMAC and Digest::MD5 (both of which are, in fact,
   required, although I don't know whether it's a direct dependency or
   indirect via Net::DNS)
-> Test::More isn't really necessary AFAICT
-> URI is required  (technically, just URI::Escape, but I couldn't
   find it as a separate module)

Adding on to the dependency confusion is the fact that Digest::HMAC
requires Digest::MD5 and Digest::SHA1, and Net::DNS requires both of
those plus Digest::HMAC.

At the very least, it would probably be a Really Good Idea to list URI
as a dependency.

The other potential problem I found is that the download links at the
top of the pages at razor.sourceforge.net are broken;  they provide
files but the files are not complete.  Clicking through to the download
area at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3978
brought up sets of links that work.

I'm planning on updating a number of production boxes at work with
Razor2 this week;  here's hoping network outages don't knock you offline
again.
