Re^2: Module Installation Issue in perl

Version numbers mentioning in the PREREQ_PM part of Makefile.PL are minumum version numbers. In theory, you should install the highest version number (or at least, that's what the CPAN and CPANPLUS shells do)

Thanx for the reminder, Joost. I installed the prereqs via CPAN, but that didn't work...In theory, the highest version number will work. I've only had a handful of modules where I had to use the exact version mentioned in the prereqs. This particular module was one of them.	[reply]

I found an interesting article on Module::Build. It will help clarify the prereq problems and goes deeper into the dependency problem. Module::Build	[reply]
