161356 - mention additional perl module

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[Andy Stenger]

for my suse 7.1 linux I had to install
   perl -MCPAN -e 'install "File::Temp"'
before I could do
   perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Template"'
(the dependency wasn't picked up automatically.

So you might want to add "File::Temp" to the list of modules on that page.

Cheers!

Andy

We probably want to test for this in checksetup.pl prior to checking for
Template as well.

What version of perl do you have? This is (also) a Template::Toolkit bug, and
should be reported to them. 5.6.1 comes with this by default - are you using
5.005_0x?

this is the version of perl:

wwwrun@pc121784:/home/bugzilla-2.16 > perl --version

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i586-linux

(basically the standard binary that comes with suse 7.1 plus a couple of binary
packaged modules from the suse 7.1 cd plus the modules you mentioned in the
install guide.

File::Temp is a new requirement for TT2.08; please report this to the tt list,
and then they should set it up so that the CPAN deps are correct.

I already reported the bug to 'abw AT andywardley DOT com', the maintainer of
the Template package.

Anything else here?  I think we shouldn't be talking about our indirect
dependencies.

Comment 7

[Matthew Barnson]

Resolving fixed, put dependency into dependency part of the Guide immediately
below Template.
