Prerequisites

This is used in the bulk of core module tests with SQLite. IF you are using another database like Postgres, you should install the appropriate module for that database.
NEXT
This is only used in Handel::Compat.
SQL::Translator
Version 0.08 or greater. This is used by DBIC and the quick start code to install the schema to a db. You can ignore this requirement if you are not going to use the quick start.
Locale::Currency::Format
Version 1.22 or greater.
This module allows all prices to be formatted to specific currency codes and formats.
Finance::Currency::Convert::WebserviceX

This module allows all prices to be converted from one currency to another.
Locale::Currency
Version 2.07 or greater.
This module allows all conversion and currency codes to be verified as real 3 letter ISO currency codes.
Getopt::Long
This is included in perl 5.8. It is used by the quick start code.
Pod::Usage
This is included in perl 5.8. It is used by the quick start code.
FormValidator::Simple
Version 0.17 or greater.
This module is only required if you plan on using the generated scaffolding code from the supplied Catalyst Controller/Model Helpers.
Optional Modules
The following modules are not required for Handel to run, although some features may be unavailable without them.
AxKit
Version 1.61 or greater.
AxKit is only required if you plan on using Handel within XSP pages using the supplied taglibs.
Template Toolkit
Version 2.07 or greater.
Template ToolKit is only required if you plan on using Handel within TT2 based websites using the supplied TT plugins.
Catalyst::Runtime
Version 5.7007 or greater.
Catalyst is only required if you plan on using the supplied Catalyst Cart/Order models withing a Catalyst app.
Catalyst::Devel
Version 1.0 or greater.
Catalyst::Devel is only required if you plan on using the supplied Catalyst Helpers to generate scaffolding or started code.
HTML::FiillInForm
Version 1.05 or greater.
This module is only required if you plan on using the generated scaffolding code from the supplied Catalyst Controller/Mode Helpers.
YAML
Version 0.58 or greater.
This module is only required if you plan on using the generated scaffolding code from the supplied Catalyst Controller/Mode Helpers.
Test Modules
The following modules are only required for the test suite when running make test.
Apache::Test
Version 1.27 or greater.
Apache::Test is used to test the AxKit XSP taglib modules.
Test::More
Version 0.61 or greater.
Earlier Test::More modules may have an issue with running the number of tests in this dist with 'command line too long' type errors.
Pod::Coverage
Version 0.14 or greater.
The pod coverage tests may fail complaining about missing pod for methods if Pod::Coverage < 0.14 is installed. This is due to certain syntax variations of the pod with escaped gt/lt. I may just alter the pod and bump this version down if there is enough feedback to do so.
Test::Pod
Version 1.00 or greater.
Test::Pod 1.00 added the all_pod_files_ok() method which makes my life easier. :-)
Test::Pod::Coverage
Version 1.04 or greater.
Test::Pod::Coverage 1.04 was made taint safe, and we run the tests with -wT like good girls and boys.
Test::Strict
Version 0.01 or greater.
This keeps me honest and makes sure I always use strict.
Test::Spelling
Version 0.10 or greater.
I can't type, or spell. This keeps the pod somewhat readable.
Test::NoTabs
Version 0.01 or greater.
Tabs are bad, m'kay? This keeps me honest.
Test::Perl::Critic
Version 0.08 or greater.
Yet another test to keep my code somewhat honest.
