in reply to Re^3: Check the dependencies of modules you want to install
in thread Check the dependencies of modules you want to install

Does the "depth" field tell us anything useful in regard to a module's position in the dependency chain ?
I actually did not notice that when I read over the XML. Hmm, I'll think about adding that, somehow.

The only other thing it fails to detect is the case where the version of the dependency that is already installed is not sufficiently recent.
Now that I can try to fix. I will update this node when I make a fix to that...
Update: Nope, I would have to go scanning Makefiles etc., CPAN Deps doesn't provide the version number :-(
