However, in Perl we have CPAN from which we install our modules...this allows us to specify dependencies be be installed when we install our module.

Yes, but you need to be careful, see "Dependencies" section at Writing Solid CPAN Modules for some general advice.

Thank you for a really useful link...that one's now bookmarked! It's very timely as well as I have just got a PAUSE account and I'm sure it won't be long before I start to package up a module for CPAN. I will, of course, seek the wisdom of the Monastery at this auspicious occasion.	[reply]
