Re^3: Accessing the net during module installation

Why didn't you just say "Hey, Andy, I'm not comfortable with having Mech go and hit the net." It's not like I don't read email.

xoxo,
Andy

Who cares about my level of comfort here ? If anything then Mech should be tested against real web sites so it seemed like a good case study showing that it is a dangerous thing as you might get false error reports and the user might conclude that your module is broken while only the tests are fragile. Actually I posted this in the Meditations as I was sort of thinking aloud but then it was moved to the questions. Anyway I agree with the earlier post of PodMaster that if you prompt for this question, the default should be no access so automatic tools - such as CPAN smokers - won't break.	[reply]

I appreciate your concern for the correctness of Mech, and welcome your patches to take care of it. xoxo, Andy	[reply]
