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
