Re^2: Larger Perl distributions

I think the original idea of having more than one versions of the perl distro meant to have a minimal version as well.

That would probably fit your requirements.

Why not have the core Perl distro be as small as possible and have the DBI bundle and the libnet bundle and the webapps bundle and the ... Oh, yeah ... that already exists! Why don't people create their own personal bundles? So, if I want an environment just like yours, I can get it because you provide a bundle that has all the modules you have installed? Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]
