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 },
