Hello,

When I try to install the Tk::AnstractCanvas module, I get a dependency
problem because the module is dependant on itself:

$ cpan Tk::AbstractCanvas
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
[ ... ]
CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PI/PIP/Tk-AbstractCanvas-1.0.56BHMOt.tgz

Checking whether your kit is complete...
Looks good

Checking prerequisites...
- ERROR: Tk::AbstractCanvas is not installed

ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES. You may wish to install the versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation

Creating new 'Build' script for 'Tk-AbstractCanvas' version '1.0.56BHMOt'
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ----
---- PIP/Tk-AbstractCanvas-1.0.56BHMOt.tgz ----
Tk::AbstractCanvas [requires]
Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue

Any idea how to work around that problem?

That bug seems to be rather old... Is this package orphaned?
