That makes a large amount of sense to me. I've been quietly grumbling for a long time that the scripts area on CPAN is very much a second class citizen - now I understand why.

Indeed, exactly those considerations are why a next version of PMEdit will go up as a module distribution rather than to the scripts area, so I guess in a rather arse backwards fashion the objectives of CPAN are being imposed and met. ;)

Thanks for the clarification. It would be nice if something like your explanation were promanent in the scripts area of CPAN.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
