NAME
AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin - making Mail::SpamAssassin installable
SYNOPSIS
# in Makefile.PL
requires 'AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin';DESCRIPTION
For some reason dependency resolution via the CPAN toolchains does not work very well for Mail::SpamAssassin. To install it without manual work you need dependencies installed beforehand.
AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin is a Task distribution that makes sure that dependencies are installed so that Mail::SpamAssassin installation does not complain.
If you have a dependency on Mail::SpamAssassin add AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin as an additional dependency and the most crucial dependencies will be installed before Mail::SpamAssassin.
Why the 'AAAA'? CPAN and CPANPLUS install prereqs sorted alphabetically, the 'AAAA' ensures that this prereq is installed before Mail::SpamAssassin. Simples.
