It looks like CPANPLUS is simply an interface to allow easy access to CPAN and installing modules.. how would this help him since he's unable to install any modules??	[reply]

Hmmm... I interpreted ...Our product starts out as a (Linux) disk image, so I am frequently* (ed: emphasis mine) unable to use CPAN modules because the powers-that-be are loathe to make a new image...* as being able to install CPAN modules if need be. If I got that wrong, and modules cannot be installed later, then maybe removing CPAN from the 5.6.x distribution would be a good idea from a maintenance / security point of view. Liz	[reply]

Ah, sorry, my fault for not being clear enough. I meant I am generally unable to use CPAN modules, because of the upheaval caused by creating a new image... -- 3dan	[reply]
