What if you don't have ANYTHING but the bare distro? No money to buy a CD. No connection (I may be in class). Answer me that. $time{&to("install",$module)}=5 if(&$i{"had"}("internet connection"));

About Tom: *WHAT?!?* Great, time to make a Linux distro...

About CGI.pm: CGI.pm is a catch-all, and many people have told about it's problems both here, on other sites, and on dead-tree print (Linux Jornal comes to mind). From what I've seen, even with CGI.pm's minimization, it still takes a long time to compile, and it looks like the best thing to advoid on speed-critical scripts.

Oh, yeah, now that you mention it: Module dependencies on modules. I'm getting confused over what GIMP::Perl wants, which needs PDL, which needs... well, it's a nice documentation problem which I wish was shifted over to program side. I'll love to have it so I can do a "perl Makefile.pl -print-needed-modules". Has that been solved? Will CPAN Modules have a INSTALL file in the archives? What about the moderate newbie (which I seem to be turning out to).
