Well, really, I don't quite buy your argument about window managers. Since when does somebody who uses a posix system use something other than the main four. Even then, most people care even less, as they have Gnome or KDE running ontop of their window managers. The only other option I've seen, that is noteworthy other than the main four, is blackbox, which is a solution for limitted resources. What I am trying to say, is I have not seen the large bulk of the window managers you said were there. At most, I can remember FWVM(????) clones, and any Linux Desktop back then was not even as good as Windows 3.x

As per my comments on everything already being coded, that was a sarcastic comment asking why Perl is even in existance, as anything we would want done on the computer was programmed in the 1970s, early 1980s. Yes, I was refering to algorythems, but those, well, most, were already implemented in some language at that time. I was trying to say that CPANs very existance is built in redundancy.
