Hi; I'm Running into dependency hell with Cygwin when trying to install Excel-Writer-XLSX-0.65 and have all tests pass and not skipped
I wanted to experiment with Excel-Writer-XLSX-0.65 under Cygwin. During the: perl Makefile.PL + make + make test + make install install process, during make test, I saw the following skip messages: t/utility/xl_date_list.t .............................. skipped: Date::Calc required to run optional tests. t/utility/xl_dec_col.t ................................ ok t/utility/xl_dec_row.t ................................ ok t/utility/xl_decode_date_EU.t ......................... skipped: Date::Calc required to run optional tests. t/utility/xl_decode_date_US.t ......................... skipped: Date::Calc required to run optional tests. t/utility/xl_inc_col.t ................................ ok t/utility/xl_inc_row.t ................................ ok t/utility/xl_parse_date.t ............................. skipped: Date::Manip and Date::Calc required to run optional tests. So I thought it would be nice to have these modules available as well. Now I enter dependency hell with Date:Calc when creating the makefile with perl: Warning: prerequisite Bit::Vector 7.1 not found. Warning: prerequisite Carp::Clan 6.04 not found. So, this gets very tiring. So what's the best Perl module that recursively installs all prerequisites of a package for you, jsut supplying the desired package name for installation? I suppose Cygwin is not the best platform for doing this.
