Text-CSV-Simple (1.00)

A *Simple* module should not require modules beyond simplicity:

Warning: prerequisite Class::Trigger 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite File::Slurp 0 not found.

Classes only complicate things.

Archive-Zip (1.18)

1.17_03 Sat 16 Sep 2006 - Adam Kennedy
- Adding dependency on File::Which to deal with problems on systems
that lack zip and unzip programs. This really should be a build-time
dependency only, but ExtUtils::MakeMaker lacks that capability.

PLEASE REMOVE THAT DEPENDENCY!
This makes the module completely uninstallable/useable on systems where File::Which is not installed, and doesn't need to be installed as those problems do not exist!

Or make it *optional*, so that systems that would profit from it's availability can use it when available.

As I have no intention to install File::Which, for which I see no reason whatsoever, I'm going to stick with 1.16

Sys-Filesystem (1.22)

1. There are no example files.
It would be very useful to have an example/ subdirectory with files that use Sys::Filesystem to mimic 'mount' and 'df'

2. There is no support (yet) for HP-UX
Yes, it's on the TODO list, but as this is my major working environment, it is missing.

3. The documentation is wrong on more than one level
# Method 3 (nice but naughty)
my @filesystems = Sys::Filesystem->filesystems ();

yields:
Can't use string ("Sys::Filesystem") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Sys/Filesystem.pm line 118.

and the obvious change to
my @filesystems = Sys::Filesystem::filesystems ();

yields:
Odd number of elements passed when even number was expected at fsinfo.pl line 8

This module has potential value, but is not really useful in this version.
