Subject: RapidApp - DBIx::Class::Schema::Diff - JSON::DWIW
Hello,
I found your RapidApp framework on CPAN and the more I read about it
the more I want to use it ;-) Only problem is Windows (I know).
Most of the dependencies installed fine under the latest Strawberry
Perl except a trivial test failure in Catalyst::Devel and a not so
trivial failure in JSON::DWIW which is a dependency for DBIx::Class
::Schema::Diff which in turn is a dependency for RapidApp.
Since the problems with JSON::DWIW with Windows/Strawberry are known
for several years now without a solution I wanted to ask if you see
any chance to drop this dependency or at least make it optional.
Perhaps it can be replaced by one of the many other JSON modules on
CPAN or it can be required only for a subset of the functionality or
whatever. After all you changed from JSON to JSON::DWIW in 1.01.
Certainly for a reason but perhaps without the intention to exclude
all Windows users from DBIx::Class::Schema::Diff and therefore
RapidApp.
I just tried if I could just go back to 1.0 but that version has
other failures (s. at end of mail).
Of course I am willing to do any tests or help otherwise to sort
this out.
