RE: [Module::Build] Bug Report - Thesaurus install feedback

[James.FitzGibbon <Jam...@ta...>]

The likely culprit is that P::V is a requirement while the other two are
only recommendations:
From Build.PL for the module:

                    requires =3D>
                    { Params::Validate =3D> 0.24,
                    },
                    recommends =3D>
                    { BerkeleyDB =3D> 0.19,
                      Text::CSV_XS =3D> 0,
                    },

If the module really can't be installed without those other two modules
then Dave should probably
promote them to requirements, but I'm sure he'll give a more coherent
explanation when he replies...

Subject: [Module::Build] Bug Report - Thesaurus install feedback


Hi list,

I am in the process of learning to use Module::Build. While reading
Dave's article on Perl.com, I took his test of installing the Thesaurus
module via the CPAN shell to check how the make compatibility layer
would work.

It caught three missing modules. Unfortunately it only installed one, so
the install of Thesaurus failed. Manually installing the other two fixed
the problem. Why is Thesaurus not requiring these other two if it can't
be installed without them (other than by force)?
