#8 Cann't run `./gccg_package status`

[O01eg]

I tried to launch gccg_package with different versions libwww-perl but it gave same errors:

dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.30.0:

The current stable LWP version is only 6.05 (though Perl itself is at 5.18.0).

Unlike later versions, 5.12.4 apparently does not autoinclude IO::File, and that's what might be causing the error. Try editing gccg_package so that after line 1196 (which is "LWP::UserAgent->import();"), you add another line:

IO::File->import();

Also note that if you keep the SVN repositories up to date, gccg_package isn't really necessary for anything.
