Re: Would you stay with Perl if there were no CPAN?

It seems to me that the new languages that have taken the idea of CPAN and attempted to improve upon it have mostly failed. Everyone still compares PEAR, RubyGems, PyPi, etc to CPAN. (Please note I am not saying these repositories have failed - I'm saying they failed to significantly improve the CPAN model)

If one of them had actually improved greatly on the CPAN model, comparisons to that new model would have taken over.
