Hi,
In the PPD specification,
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.10/lib/ActivePerl/PPM/PPD.htmlit's mentioned that the DEPENDENCY element is deprecated
in favour of REQUIRE. I've noticed in the 10xx repository,
for example,
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.10-windows/AcePerl.ppdboth are provided, with DEPENDENCY specifying the
distribution name (the NAME attribute of SOFTPKG) and
REQUIRE specifying the module name (something specified
by PROVIDE in a distribution). However, some random
testing seems to indicated that DEPENDENCY is still
required. Are there plans to move over to REQUIRE?
This would be easier in making up ppm packages, as
the module names are what are specified as prerequisites
in Makefile.PL/Build.PL/META.yml.
