I'm sorry but this is less than helpful. Suggesting someone change platform purely to get a module installed is frankly bad advice. First of all, many people don't have the freedom to pick and choose which OS/products they use in a working environment. In a great many cases this simply isn't an option. Secondly, Perl was born before Linux, claiming otherwise is factually inaccurate.

"Occurence of such problems may be continued if you remain using the windows."

So if they installed Linux the machine would magically be connected to the internet? You are aware that ActiveState Perl has shipped with cpan for years?

For the record I prefer Strawberry Perl to ActiveState and Linux to MS Windows.
