Re: Finding the Correct Module

I would strongly recommend to everybody (not just to newbies) to activate the CPAN nodelet in their user settings. It includes a listing of the latest modules as well as the search form for fast and easy CPAN searches. Could we get the search results in a new window vroom?

AgentM Systems nor Nasca Enterprises nor Bone::Easy nor Macperl is responsible for the comments made by AgentM. Remember, you can build any logical system with NOR.

The only way I've found to find the appropriate CPAN module in many cases is to browse CPAN before you need a module and have passing familiarity with much of what is there. But http://search.cpan.org/ can be very helpful. vroom, has the CPAN nodelet been fixed so that it no longer locks up all access to PerlMonks when whatever it feeds from goes south? I enjoyed having it on but disabled it once I realized that PerlMonks appearing locked up during several mornings was due to it. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]
