Re: Re: A little truth

Most Perl users who install from CPAN do it using CPAN.pm. And I would bet that most do NOT keep CPAN up to date.

Is that really true or just a guess on your part? I would've guessed that less than half of the Perl community that actually gets modules from CPAN would use CPAN.pm. Can we have a show of hands of how many perlmonks use CPAN.pm versus fetching and installing themselves?

How about instead we have an end to this thread? Please? Mistakes of courtesy were made on both sides. No blood drawn. Move along; nothing to see here. (: - tye	[reply]

It turns out there was such a poll. And the results are suggestive that CPAN is the most common way To install a module.... I think your reluctance to comply with this is unfortunate, as it is that Module::Build does not either. Nevertheless you are of course entitled to upload whatever you like to CPAN, but I dont see the point if it wont install using CPAN.pm --- demerphq _{<Elian> And I do take a kind of perverse pleasure in having an OO assembly language...}	[reply] [d/l]
