Well spotted! I will note that I was wrong when I said it didn't
have perl docs - the docs have Shlomi's name on them (the maintainer
since 2006), but Error.pm doesn't explicitly mention him and I
assumed, wrongly, that the docs were from his XML::LibXML/Error.pm.
On a fully built system, Error-0.17024 drops in with the regular
instructions, but it also has Build.PL and cpan's list of
dependencies claims Module::Build is required (I have it already).
I'm still on git-2.13.0 here, that provides the 0.15009 version of
Error.pm which is from 2006 (instead of 2015).
So, IFF Error.pm builds and tests without Module::Build then it
should be a straightforward addition.
I realised my server (8.0) doesn't have Module::Build - dropped this
in there, builds and tests fine. The module also adds
Error/Simple.pm which was not installed by git.
Do you want to add it ?
Standard instructions seem enough, and there are no dependencies outside
what is installed with perl in LFS,
although some tests are skipped due to missing Test::Pod (but it does
not stop the tests).
I'll try to add it to the perl modules in the book.
