Why is there not a Bundle::PerlPlus (and yes, I've lathered up my yak with that name) that downloads and installs the modules that should have been in the box?
Sure, a Bundle::PerlPlus would be fun. Installing it wouldn't be. Perl module installation is tough. There are a lot of modules that do a lot of different things. There are a handful of ways to install all of those modules. There are a number of module installation modules. These modules may be pure-Perl or require compiling. What there isn't is: $ curl go.cpan.org | sudo perl > install Foo > quit $ perl -MFoo ... Exploring and using CPAN modules isn't fun. CPAN asks way too many users for the casual explorer, plus try explaining to them how to install a module locally. I'm not saying that this is a trivial problem or that it's easy to solve. I'm saying that to rope people in it's got to be Dead Fricking Simple. -- Ian Langworth
