cannot find the Tie::StdScalar module

mifflin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to install the Regexp::MatchContext Module.
The install (see below) says that it has a prerequisite of Tie::StdScalar.
However, this module still tests fine.
Also, I cannot find Tie::StdScalar on CPAN.
Is this a warning I should be worried about?

Tie::StdScalar is built into Tie::Scalar. If you have Tie::Scalar, you have Tie::StdScalar. Go ahead and install Tie::Scalar and that should clear things up. Dave	[reply]

Tie::Scalar is included with perl since 5.002. But, unsurprisingly, you can't specify a package as a prereq if it isn't a file whose name is derivable from the package name. TheDamian should have caught this bug in his Makefile.PL.	[reply]

So, is this something that I should be worried about?	[reply]

Tie::Scalar is already on my system... `# perl -w -MTie::Scalar -e 'print "$Tie::Scalar::VERSION\n"' 1.00` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
