MIME::Lite and it's dependecy needed

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

Hi,

I have perl v5.6.0 on HP-UX machine. So far I am using mailx to send email in perl scripts. I like to install modules to do it for me. However, due to lot of dependecies of these modules I am running into trouble.

Note that I am installing as non-root user by creting the lib directory in the home directory of the user.

MIME::Lite complained for prerequisite Email::Date::Format.
Email::Date::Format complained for prerequisite Test::More.

I could not find Test::More. It seem to install Test-Simple-0.94 from CPAN.

So can you guys help me in either suggesting a best way to get this email issue resolved in perl scripts or by pointing me to a package including all dependency of a module.

This will be very helpful to me.

Test::More is contained within Test-Simple. The `cpan` tool will automatically follow and install all prerequisites, but if you want/need to do it manually, have a look at the dependency list of MIME::Lite.	[reply] [d/l]
