The "answer" is to point them at "cpan", which auto-configures and -- by 5.20 -- doesn't even bother with mirror selection. It will bootstrap local::lib as well. Newbies should be able to say "cpan Foo" and it will just work -- and give them instructions for how to put local::lib in their shell. Is it as pretty (e.g. terse) as cpanm? No. But it comes with the perl core. (That said, if someone's distro doesn't HAVE cpan installed, then it's a toss up whether installing it via package manager is "easier" than downloading cpanm from the web. -- David Golden <xdg@xdg.me> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdgThread Previous | Thread Next
