Let's say I'm putting together an SDK for silly modules (which I am) and I throw Symbol::Approx::Sub in. It has a dependency on Devel::Symdump. Well, Devel::Symdump is totally unrelated to the rest of the SDK, but we must resolve the dependency so it has to go in. Now the question is, what if they already have Devel::Symdump installed and *it's a newer version*? I'm been trying to think of an easy way that the SDK will only install a certain piece of itself if there's not already an equal or never version installed. And do it with a minimum of work to the SDK maintainer. Ideas? -- Michael G.
