Howto handle prerequisites that are in core (Score:1)

by LaPerla (33) on 2007.09.09 0:54 (#57645) Journal

But a prerequisite is a prerequisite independently of the fact if they are included in core. I usually encourage people to explicitely list their core module dependencies because there may always be perl installations that miss them. Either somebody used the -Dnoextensions option at Configure time or they have a minidistro or they have a broken installation, there are reasons why they might miss a core prerequisite.
