I hope the Schwern bottleneck clearly up soon.
The point i was making is that it isnt actually necessary for Schwern to do anything for you to enjoy the benefits of the new Install code. The thing that isnt possible right now is to say cpan> install ExtUtils::Install but if you say cpan> install YVES/ex-ExtUtils-Install-1.3701.tar.gz the you are cooking, with gas, right now. :-) And to be honest the package could use a bit of a workout so I encourage people to try it out. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
