Thanks for the perl CPAN module! I have a few typos and comments. >CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz >In some special cases, particularly when building perl5 for distribution, >it is convenient to distinguish between the directory in which files should >be installed from the directory (/usr/local) in which they >will eventually reside. For most users, these two directories are the same. 'installed from the directory' should be 'installed and the directory'. >Many scripts expect perl to be installed as /usr/bin/perl. >I can install the perl you are about to compile also as /usr/bin/perl >(in addition to /usr/local/bin/perl). >Do you want to install perl as /usr/bin/perl? [y] If there's already a /usr/bin/perl, don't default to replacing it. Also, if the user doesn't actually have write permissions to the destination directory, there should probably be a warning, so they can rerun the installation as root, change permissions on that dir, install to a temporary directory, or at least understand what's going on. >The perl executable is normally obtained by linking perlmain.c with >libperl.a, any static extensions (usually just DynaLoader), and >any other libraries needed on this system (such as -lm, etc.).

The >default is probably sensible for your system. 'noticeable affect on performance.' should be 'noticeable effect on performance.' Thanks, Chris Pepper
