Re^5: Cannot find dependencies when creating packages on ActivePerl with PPM 4

Thanks anyway, I look forward to try and use PPM::Make.

My take on this is that PPM::Make will enable you to create a ppd file that works - but that ppd file will not contain the <DEPENDENCY> checks for the modules you specified ... and therefore you won't achieve your aim, anyway. PPM just currently doesn't have the capability to perform dependency checks on core and bundled modules - though that may change in the future.

I could be wrong, however - in which case someone will hopefully correct me.

Cheers,
Rob

I'm not sure in what sense you mean "dependency checks"?	[reply]

I'm not sure in what sense you mean "dependency checks"? As I understand it, a key aspect of what the op wanted, was for PPM to check that the installed versions of some specific modules (Carp, Win32::OLE, etc.) are >= a certain version number. Looks to me that PPM is incapable of doing that - though I haven't tested it out for myself. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
