No vendor includes a full CPAN library with the stock Perl. Linux, Solaris, etc, they're all doing the same thing. If you install your own copy of Perl, it too will only have a partial standard core fraction of CPAN. Get used to CPAN. You aren't going to find a vendor that provides a full CPAN install -- new ones appear daily, so keeping up is impossible anyway. There has been talk of including fewer CPAN modules with future versions of Perl, to get people into the habit of installing things when previously they might not have wanted to go beyond the core modules. *shrug* -- Chris Devers DO NOT LEAVE IT IS NOT REAL
