Description James Rowe 2009-05-12 06:32:55 UTC 
IO-Socket-SSL tests at runtime for Net-LibIDN availability, therefore
doesn't strictly require it and works fine if the user never tries to
parse a domain name with non-ASCII chars.  And if a internationalised
domain is checked it even outputs a nice message.

  Net-LibIDN is a pretty huge chunk of code for those of us who don't
need it ;)  Package.provided hacks aside, it seems common practise in the
tree to not force these deps.

Thanks,

James


Reproducible: Always

Depend on Net-LibIDN only if the user has set USE=idn

It's in 1.25. And I don't like it. What does -idn mean?
But we have no better support for recommended dependencies.
