Perl dependencies for Foswiki and Extensions

This topic lists the dependencies required by the Foswiki core and installed extensions. It is designed to help administrators analyse and resolve missing dependencies. In the report, all users of the module are identified (including the Foswiki core).

Note: Not all missing dependencies need resolution. Optional or "recommended" dependencies will note when they are needed, and should only be installed if you know that your particular installation will require them.
