(tye)Re: The vexation of installing and compiling HTML::CalendarMonth

You need to update your module so that it demands the version of HTML::Element that it needs. For example, if it requires version 3.11 or higher, and you currently have use HTML::Element; then change it to: use HTML::Element 3.11; If you have use HTML::Element qw( ... ); then change it to: use HTML::Element 3.11 qw( ... ); Then users will be told that they need to upgrade HTML::Element and even what version to look for.

You should also note this dependancy so that CPAN.pm can tell people what they need to install with your module. You do this by adding the following to your Makefile.PL: 'PREREQ_PM' => { 'HTML::Element' => 3.11 },

Yes. Oversite on my part. It used to be that way, but it's been dropped. Do you happen to know, right of hand, whether that syntax ordains an exact match on the version requirement, or is it a >= relationship. If it's an exact match, that might have been why I dropped it once upon a time. Matt	[reply]

Yes, both of those request that version or newer. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]
