Why not a simple dependency on Alien-Sisyphusion-Gtk2WebKitdlls

I considered that with another issue a year or two ago (when BrowserUk suggested much the same thing) - but I found that Strawberry's PPM utility took no notice of the "REQUIRE NAME" entry. So I canned the idea without giving it much more thought.
Tonight I discovered that Strawberry's PPM does however honour the "DEPENDENCY NAME" entry. (I guess Strawberry's ppm is not modern enough to know about "REQUIRE NAME".)

So ... I 'll =~ s/REQUIRE NAME/DEPENDENCY NAME/g in the PPD files and package.xml, and go with the approach you've suggested. Thanks !!
Might get a bit messy with AciveState perls if they decide to make "DEPENDENCY NAME" obsolete. They haven't done that yet, have they ?

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
