vcpan (Virtual CPAN) ?
This site looks on top of it! I noticed they were using a wrapper called vcpan for access to perls MCPAN. I was hoping this was something that was in the CPAN libraries but it's not. Has anyone seen or written such an animal?

Re: vcpan (Virtual CPAN) ?
On the main topic at hand: I am under the impression vcpan and other iserver tools like it are proprietary and it is how they manage their virtual UNIX boxes so that you can have almost root-like access to your virtual web server machine without being a true separate physical box that you have root access on.

My recent experiences with Verio have been extremely poor, their customer support for leased lines is that it pretty much is non-existent. On the subtopic: I think it's fair to say that any company bought out by Verio (such as iserver) suffers from the added overhead and uncertainty of being owned by a huge company (as well as potentially having key people leave over it). However, iserver was a company before verio, and is a separate entity after it. But take it as you will. Verio forced me to move my email from clark.net to a "Verio standard mail server" and I lost my mail for several days and never recovered my IMAP mail folder capability on their new config. Support emailed me back a couple times telling me that everything was the same on the new server so I shouldn't be having any problem and never offered more help. So chalk one up for a Verio absorbtion. My experience with iserver's own tech support hasn't been so bad even if it does have to go through [EMAIL PROTECTED] I usually get a response within 12 hours. Not amazing for business critical support (I would prefer a within 1 hour response) but the answers seemed to be good to me. And their model of virtual servers is somewhat interesting and gives quite a bit of capability to config your own stuff in a standardized/automated way that many small web hosting companies cannot touch. Anyway, take it as you will. IServer has a shed-load of customers and they support Perl as well as mod_perl for all those customers... So now we have a whole slew of customers who may start coming here for advice which will be very exciting to see a new set of people grow on this list. Later, Gunther
