Hi,
This is just a FYI that I've installed the following packages on jenkins.koha-community.org to deal with a testing glitch arising from my pushing the patch for bug 11185:
* libanyevent-http-perl
* libanyevent-perl
Please note that at present, I'm assuming that any Debian and Ubuntu build servants are expected to have the modules called for by the koha-deps and koha-perldeps packages.

Is there any operational overhead (apart from disk storage) penalty from having unused perl packages installed? (I've googled around, but have not found any real answer.)

In other words, for sandbox use, looking at all versions say from 3.8 up, should unused packages be removed for testing comparative efficiency, speed, etc of a single version? Are there any packages where "older" perl is required for "older" Koha?

If not (and I get the impression that there is probably nothing detrimental), is there a "master" list of all perl modules across the Koha spectrum? Or is this an impossible dream?

tnx and br -- paul
