Re: RubyForge vs CPAN: Is Perl's Killer Feature Being Usurped?

Perl has never been the only language with a repository like CPAN; it's probably not even close to the biggest, and it's certainly not the oldest.

Broadly similar repositories exist for every language used for serious work, with different rules for how code gets uploaded and maintained. Examples include netlib, StatCodes, CRAN, and quite a few others. CPAN is not being usurped by RubyForge any more than CRAN is being usurped by CPAN.

Any Northeastern US area jobs? I'm currently unemployed.
