Yes, you can: `cpan Acme::Everything` [download] But don't try it at home (in fact, don't try it at work either). `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Good grief! Now I've seen everything. If anyone does this, please post back here with how long the installs takes.	[reply]

...and here I thought this site was all about encouraging the newcomer to try new things! Just kidding. OP, seriously, I would highly recommend against doing this.	[reply]
