"'This CPAN module uses LWP for communicating with Nessus over XMLRPC via https. Therefore, make sure that you have Net::SSL (provided by Crypt::SSLeay): http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Crypt::SSLeay or IO::Socket::SSL: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?IO::Socket::SSL" If you want to argue that LWP is a RUN_DEPENDS, I can see that, but why HTML::Message and XML::Simple? Why does the author think these other modules are required? I need more information before making this change. Even if these other modules were required, they wouldn't be BUILD_DEPENDS, they would be RUN_DEPENDS, so the patch would need to be corrected for that. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/infosecurity/
