In article <20010316133159.F2277@tao.org.uk> you write: >That's what the new BSDPAN code is all about. Making CPAN installs >accounted for in the system. ``Accounted for'' is not particularly useful to me. I don't use CPAN.pm anyway. I know what most if not all of the modules are. The problem is being required to figure out the dependency graph, recompile all of the modules in the right order, and then test all of my applications to ensure that they haven't been broken (because invariably, the module that I originally installed will have been superseded). This is, to my mind, very much contrary to the spirit of ``stable''. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
