Re: Re: module wish list for perl v5.6.1

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??

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]
