Huge dependency tree when installing on perl 5.10 ? #18

Open szabgab opened 8 years ago

szabgab commented 8 years ago

I've just tried to install Test::Strict on perl 5.10 using cpan and it started to install all kinds of strange modules such as Template::Toolkit and Moo. I wonder if is a bug in the old cpan client or if there is some dependency that brings those. It would be nice if this did not happen.

Hmm, do not observe Moo or such as dependencies on a clean install to a newly-minted Perl::Build install of 5.10.1. Most are Devel::Cover related, though.

% fgrep 'Warning: prereq' buildlog 
Warning: prerequisite Devel::Cover 0.43 not found.
Warning: prerequisite IO::Scalar 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Test::More 1.00 not found. We have 0.92.

As part of reporting other issues via CPANtesters testing, I've had occasion to try to install Test-Strict several times lately. While I have not tried to install it against perl-5.10, I have not observed a lengthy dependency tree as part of that testing.

CPAN: HTTP::Tiny loaded ok (v0.088)
CPAN: Net::SSLeay loaded ok (v1.94)
CPAN: IO::Socket::SSL loaded ok (v2.088)

So I think this issue is closable.
