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

Hello,

I would like to download the bundle, I went to:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Bundle-W3C-Validator/

downloaded the gzip, but when I open the only module inside is Validator.pm

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Bundle-W3C-Validator/lib/Bundle/W3C/Validator.pm shows about 35 modules.

Can anyone kindly show where is the pink elephant?

Thanks, Allasso

    Bundle distros do not contain dependencies, but merely reference them in the POD. Bundle distros are special-cased in the CPAN clients cpan and cpanm. You are not supposed to download and unpack yourself, but let the clients handle them.

    Run cpan Bundle::W3C::Validator and it will DTRT.

      Its in the manual

      I am guessing you are talking about the line that says:

      perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::W3C::Validator"

      The problem is, I am needing to install this on a machine that won't have access to internet, and will need to install the modules manually. I was hoping the bundle would have all the modules in it. I guess I will have to get them one by one?
