Re: perlbrew clone-modules fails to install lots of modules

Do you need File::Fingerprint? I was always a broken module. If you are usign it for something, please respond to the GitHub issue at https://github.com/briandfoy/file-fingerprint/issues/11 </p

If you are not actually using File::Fingerprints for something, don't worry about it.

For what it's worth, I simply install modules as I need them in a new perl installation, so I don't carry over all the cruft that I installed and forgot in some other installation.

I don't really need File::Fingerprint but it seems like a pretty cool concept to aggregate all the ways to identify a particular file. Why not fix and possibly expand it? Like get rid of that print from sub init and add an all method that dumps the results of every method and whatever else you think is wrong with it. Thanks for all your good work!	[reply]

There's only so much time in the day and there are more useful things to do. If you want to take over the module and do all that, I can transfer it to you.	[reply]
