Did you bother to click on the link? Two of them, actually: Test::Exception dependencies for Perl 5.8.9 and Test::Exception dependencies for Perl 5.10. I have trouble imagining why anyone would use Moose on any older release of Perl.	[reply]

Both 5.8.9 and 5.10.0 are very recent releases. There are plenty of people still using 5.8.8, because 5.8.8 was, for a very long time, the most recent version of perl. When you say similar things about people still using perl 5.6 then you do at least have a valid point. But saying that about 5.8.8 seems just crazy.	[reply]

5.10.0 are very recent releases. Not so long ago, software whose latest release was a year and a half ago wasn't considered "very recent", but "old, outdated" and possibly "dead". Now, I don't agree with the latter part, but I certainly don't consider a release that is a year and a half old as "very recent".	[reply]

So everyone using the current release of Mac OS X should install their own Perl to use Moose? `% perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Really?. That looks like 4 modules to me with only 2 as non-core.	[reply]

You're both right, sort of. The latest Test::Exception depends on a minimum of (for example) Test::More 0.70, which is only in core if you are running perl 5.10.	[reply]
