 According to the CPAN page 
 (<http://search.cpan.org/~kost/Net-Nessus-XMLRPC-0.30/lib/Net/Nessus/XMLRPC.pm>), 
 only IO::Socket::SSL is required (and in FreeBSD, Net::SSL is a RUN_DEPENDS 
 for IO::Socket::SSL. anyway.)
 
 "'This CPAN module uses LWP for communicating with Nessus over XMLRPC via 
 https. Therefore, make sure that you have Net::SSL (provided by 
 Crypt::SSLeay): http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Crypt::SSLeay or 
 IO::Socket::SSL: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?IO::Socket::SSL"
 
 If you want to argue that LWP is a RUN_DEPENDS, I can see that, but why 
 HTML::Message and XML::Simple?  Why does the author think these other 
 modules are required?
 
 I need more information before making this change.
 
 Even if these other modules were required, they wouldn't be BUILD_DEPENDS, 
 they would be RUN_DEPENDS, so the patch would need to be corrected for that.
