What is module "load" that "Thread::Serialize" depends on?

[David Karr]

I'm on Cygwin 1.5.25 and Perl 5.10.0.

I'm trying to install "Thread:ool" version 0.33. There are a chain of unresolved dependencies for this, and I'm stuck on one of them.

Thread:ool depends on Thread::Conveyor, which depends on Thread::Serialize, which depends on "load". That last one confuses me a bit, as I'm not used to seeing module names like that. I found a "Module::Load", but I don't think that's it.

How do I resolve that dependency on "load"?

I sometimes wish Perl builds could work somewhat like Maven, where it would just automatically download and install a module's dependencies. I'm sure that would create other messes, but it sure looks like a good thing right now.

By searching for it on search.cpan.org:

Download.
Install.

But, before doing that...

Your wish came true, many, many years ago.
