I do see such a link but its possible Google is showing you a different page because you're coming from .il. > This brings me to the question, or two: > > Should any of the module installation processes access web sites ? > If yes, is that OK to that without asking the user first ? If the implication here is that there's some sort of security or politeness issue, its perfectly ok. A GET isn't going to hurt you. > Should it be a public site such as Google that can change and cause the > tests fail or should it be a private site or at least a more static one. > (E.g www.cpan.org ?) Static is better where static is needed. cpan.org is a good suggestion. If the author has reliable hosting available putting up their own page is good, too. Shipping the code with a small HTTP daemon is even better. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ I know you get this a lot, but you're breathtaking, like a vision of simplicity
