* Idea! CPAN Version Advisories

| Idea! CPAN Version Advisories |

My friend Jeff woke me up today because I IM'd him late last night saying
"I have this great idea and I need to talk with someone about it!" This
isn't that idea, but another one Jeff suggested.
We got to talking about the problem of CPAN dependencies. He mentioned
that Python modules don't really have many dependencies, but they're not
very complex either. CPAN modules can do some really complex things
because they can let some other module do the work, but that leads to a
long, and fragile, dependency chain.
We talked about some of the attempts to solve that and why they suck.
They mostly revolve around depending on a fixed version. Debian packages
can depend on a major version of another package (say, 3.x) and won't use
a newer major version. Module::Install tries to solve it by shipping a
fixed version of itself and any dependencies. only.pm tries to solve it
by coding in specific versions. The problem with these approaches is they
try to freeze the upgrade process.
