Re^3: Should I list core modules as dependencies?

So why don't I list them? Seeing a long list of dependencies can put some people off using a module. Yes, that's primary reason why I care about dependencies. None of CPAN tools can clearly show that module use just a few non-Core dependencies, and instead shows long-long tail of core modules and testing modules.

Funny :) I don't remember seeing any wishlist items bug reports about someone wanting non-core dependencies hilighted

corelist can tell you if something is core, so all you have to do is filter whatever through corelist

OTOH, scandeps doesnt list core modules by default

I don't remember seeing any wishlist items bug reports about someone wanting non-core dependencies hilighted Why report wishlist of you can just edit your makefile/build.pl ? OTOH, scandeps doesnt list core modules by default I tested, it claims it does not, but it does (it reported base, Carp, Encode, List::Util for me) However seems it doesnt list non-dual-life modules.

Why report wishlist of you can just edit your makefile/build.pl ? You said None of CPAN tools can clearly show that module use just a few non-Core dependencies, and instead shows long-long tail of core modules and testing modules. You said , these things don't have this feature I want, so I prefer to see make incomplete Makefile.PL/Build.PL How is editing Makefile.PL/Build.PL so it becomes incomplete, preferable to improving "CPAN tools to clearly show that module use just a few non-Core dependencies"? So instead of fixing one or two or three tools , to ease fears of dependencies, you prefer incomplete Build.PL/Makefile.PL? incredible	[reply]
