  • Hi Adam,

    I just sent a patch for the CPANTS broken_installer metric to domm via RT. It now scans Makefile.PL for the use of the auto_install feature and reports versions prior to 0.64 as broken if it was found. If not, pre-0.61 is considered broken/old. Does that sound reasonable?

    Cheers,
    Steffen
    • Maybe...

      It's a bit debatable, since the use of auto_install() is probably harmless (or at least mostly harmless) if it getting installed via CPAN.pm.

      It's probably ok for now, since once ::With gets integrated properly (meaning 0.70 and maybe a few releases after that to bed it down) we'll toggle everything to broken :)
