It extends the Perl module system so that modules are automatically installed as packages. It also makes module installation PREFIX clean, which the standard PERL module install doesn't do. That failing is responsible for about 50% of the ports I see that aren't PREFIX clean. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
