Re: PPM and core modules

I've had a problem with it, yes, when I tried to install Data::Dump::Streamer from PodMaster's repository. It insisted on reinstalling Data::Dumper, the same version I had installed, even. At least part of the problem would appear to be PPM's differentiating between "::" and "-", which is common in distribution names. PodMaster's PPD file specifies

 <DEPENDENCY NAME="Data-Dumper" VERSION="2,121,0,0" />
[download]

thus with a hyphen.

I'm not sure that's the only problem, as PPM might be checking only the list of additionally installed modules. Might. I'd have to investigate this further.

Just my 2 cents... At least now you know of a specific case of an occurring problem.

Which version of ppm do you have? That sounds like a bug that's been fixed.	[reply]
