Fails on new Perl versions that lack Data::Dumper

It seems like Data::Dumper is no longer in core and Object::Remote fails on those Perl versions. I have specifically tested on CentOS 7 with default Perl v5.16.3.

Data::Dumper is still in core. $ corelist Data::Dumper Data for 2014-07-20 Data::Dumper was first released with perl 5.005 compare to: $ corelist CGI Data for 2014-07-20 CGI was first released with perl 5.004, deprecated (will be CPAN-only) in v5.19.7 and removed from v5.21.0

Some distributions are really lame and split up the core distribution so you don't get everything that ought to be there -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2085516/how-can-i-tell-what-modules-were-originally-provided-with-the-specific-perl-insta Your recourse here is to install the package that includes Data::Dumper, and complain to your packager that they shouldn't be doing this anymore. (We can also fix the metadata for this distribution so as to include Data::Dumper as an explicit prereq.)

Ok, thank you for the explanation! I will file a report with CentOS then!
