QM has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone experienced problems installing DMB::Deep, where FileHandle::Fmode didn't install normally (by following dependencies), but had to be installed separately?

(This is a followup to Module Install Troubles.)

    The simplest solution might be to install the latest DBM::Deep (version 1.0013) - as it doesn't need FileHandle::Fmode.

    Cheers,

      You will have to ignore the test failures in t/44_upgrade_db.t as it does require FileHandle::Fmode for its regression tests. This has been fixed in SVN and will be fixed in 1.0014. (*sighs*)

      My criteria for good software:
      1. Does it work?
      2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
      Ah, well, I installed FileHandle::Fmode separately (with cpan), and then DBM::Deep installed OK.
