Greetings, Exception::Class was added as a dependency. Debian 8’s default is 1.38 and not the minimum required of 1.39.
From the Changes file: 1.40 2016-01-29
- Fixed broken metadata. Reported by Slaven Rezić. GitHub #3. 1.39 2014-11-01 - Replaced the Exception::Class::Base->NoRefs method with UnsafeRefCapture to match changes in Devel::StackTrace 2.00. The old method is deprecated but will continue to work. 1.38 2014-05-05 - An exception without a message will now default to either the associated exception class description or the string "[Generic exception]". Patch by Ricardo Signes. PR #2. - Added field_hash() and context_hash() methods. Patch by Ricardo Signes. PR #1. So the question is: Could we either (1) package up 1.40 or (2) lower the required version? I’d prefer to make underlying scariness less visible to the user who may wander to the About –> Perl Modules page. GPML, Mark Tompsett
