Re^3: MetaCPAN Issues inconsistent links?

Actually, most things in the core are in the core because nobody has taken it on themselves to maintain the module outside of the core. Stuff not being maintained in the core is the preferred method for most things because then you can upgrade the module without needing to upgrade the Perl version.

But I think it's more the case that things in the core are deemed useful and critical to a Perl distribution, such that I can do interesting things right out of the box. Orphan modules of some utility would come second. -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply]
