It is _very_ powerful. * * Be aware that CPAN doesn't solve the dependencies between packages. During * build you'll see that a few are missing (A require B and so on) but it * won't get them for you. * * I use CPAN a lot but it is not a miracle. Can someone tell me how this works? Also, are you guys (some of you anyway) suggesting to remove all the p5-* ports from the tree? (That's going to make the ports tree shrink by almost 100, but given the recent mess I'm not sure if I'll shed any tears. ;) Satoshi
