Re^2: Should I list core modules as dependencies? (yaml comments)

So why don't I list them? Seeing a long list of dependencies can put some people off using a module.

Well, it appears you use META.yml, and since yml supports comments, you can ... corelist ... make clear which dependencies are CORE and which are not

But I suppose that might still put people off :)

> ... make clear which dependencies are CORE and which are not no need for yaml comments The perl version number is used to filter test results and also to determine what's a core module and what's not - Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language) update added quote	[reply]

"yml supports comments" And I'm sure they're very useful for people handwriting their META.yml files. For the rest of us who generate them using CPAN::Meta (e.g. via ExtUtils::MakeMaker) YAML comments are not really an option. `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply]
