No. I suggest that you do some more research. You undershot the runway:). Spiffy is a dependency of ExtUtils::XSpp. What more research? Shall I quote your own words for you again? Ok, you said In order to use ExtUtils::Typemap, there are a few non-core dependencies that need to be installed: ExtUtils::XSpp is not ExtUtils::Typemap, and Spiffy is not a dependency of ExtUtils::Typemap cpan doesn't need help figuring out dependencies, core or otherwise -- this is what the utility is all about All your spiffy program does is make folks think perl/cpan must be really FUBARed that you need to write a program to install some module when you don't, since `cpan ExtUtils::Typemap` installs everything required Btw, 1297 nodes and you're still replying to yourself? Clicking the correct reply link can't be that hard :/	[reply] [d/l]

cpan doesn't need help figuring out dependencies, core or otherwise -- this is what the utility is all about

All your spiffy program does is make folks think

perl/cpan must be really FUBARed that you need to write a program to install some module

when you don't, since cpan ExtUtils::Typemap installs everything required
