Re^2: Installing Object::InsideOut fails with circular dependency on Math::Random::MT::Auto

I tried on a second machine and had the same circular requirement issue. Then tried again and it worked on both machines as well as on the original older version of Strawberry Perl. I don't know what could have changed but I'm happy that it worked and I can debug my script now. Thanks!

`cpan` tries to install a module even if it can't install all of its prereqs. If its test suite passes, the module will be installed despite the missing dependency. I suspect the second go around was quieter because of a module that got installed despite a missing dependency on the first go around.	[reply] [d/l]

I should have mentioned in the first post that there were more than one failed attempts on each Perl install. I tried multiple times to install both Object::InsideOut and Math::Random::MT::Auto but each required the other. Some of the other dependencies of Data::GUID::Any I was able to install but unfortunately I didn't keep a log of what I did. The work laptop will only connect through a corporate vpn so I assumed it was some weirdness there but I saw the same problem on the personal laptop. Then it all started working on both machines.
