Data::Dump is missing ? t/local/httpsub.t fails

Hi,

In t/local/httpsub.t there is a

use Data::Dump;

and in my perl installation there is no Data::Dump so the test fails.
It seems that Data::Dump is not in the standard perl distro either.
After installing this module the tests passed correctly.


Should it be a prerequisite of libwww-perl or should the the specific
test check for its existence and skip its test if the module is missing ?

khm, replying to myself,

I just noticed this test file only exists in the CVS but is not
distributed.

Still I guess it should be fixed somehow (probably by skipping
the test if the modul is not there).

It's an unfinished test that I lost interest in completing :-(
If completed, then the Data::Dump reference should clearly go.

I see, thanks.
I installed Data::Dump in my develeopment perl now to avoid this
issue.
