Class::Fields ships a version of base.pm with bug fixes. It allows one to upgrade base.pm on older versions of perl. The CPAN 02packages.details.txt index is listing perl-5.8.0.tar.gz as the source for base causing dependency problems with some of my modules, most notably Class::Accessor. I've gotten almost a dozen bug reports of people unable to resolve the base.pm dependency.
Could the CPAN index be altered so the base.pm in the Class-Fields tarball shows up rather than the one in perl-5.8.0? -- Michael G. Schwern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Perl Quality Assurance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kwalitee Is Job One
