Description Nathan Machula 2004-01-07 07:18:07 UTC

Here's an ebuild for the Perl CPAN module Date::Simple.

It should probably be "dev-perl/Date-Simple".

The module itself has no dependencies beyond Perl, but the tests depend on the Test module.

Thanks, Nathan

Comment 2 eric sammer 2004-01-09 10:24:57 UTC

The policy on perl modules in Gentoo is that they are only specifically included in the portage tree if they are a dependency of an app or they provide utilities. Unless I'm mistaken, Date::Simple doesn't meet these requirements, and if that is the case, g-cpan.pl should be used for installation instead.

Please reopen if this is a dependency of something in portage. (see previous comment)
