Hi Dennis, You're quite right, the dimensions of "recommended vs. required vs. conflicts" and "build vs. test" should really be independent. The next major issue for us to sort out in M::B is that of dependencies. I've just added an item to the TODO file for it. I'm a little hesitant to add much support for build_recommends before the larger issues are resolved. It might be good enough for you to just not mention Struct::Compare in your prerequisites for now, and just use it if it's present? -Ken On Wednesday, September 10, 2003, at 02:20 PM, Dennis Sutch wrote: > Would it be possible to include a build_recommends argument for the > new() > method? > > I have a module which optionally uses the module Struct::Compare in > build > tests, if that module is found.
