in reply to Perl-centric Linux Live CD?
in thread Linux Live CD with Perl >= 5.8.6
Yes, it would be nice to have several versions of Perl around, just to experiment with them.
tons of CPAN modules
You would probably need more than a single CD for that. Even CPAN::Mini creates a minimalist mirror of the CPAN that has over 440Mb ATM.
some IDE like Eclipse/EPIC
I disagree with this one... but that's me :-) YMMV :-)
lots of sample code
Er... OK, but this probably wouldn't be easy to come by, unless of course we'd choose a section of perlmonks and copy-paste it there, or something (you'd get the comments, which could be good).
links to websites
Sounds like a nice idea, yes.
a few HTML pages that explain how to access it all, etc.
Actually, I think this might be a very good idea... Do I see anyone volunteering? O:-)
We were thinking of getting a company to sponsor some CPAN cds for YAPC::EU::2005. Perhaps a small team could assemble a bunch of useful stuff and, provided we do get a company to support it, we could hand those cds over (not only to conference atendees, of course).
