ink about it, I seem to recall reading somewhere about dual-life modules not being listed in the main Perl page. Dual-life modules are those that are both core AND are distributed seperatly on CPAN. Don't remember where I saw that, and don't know if it's true or relevant here... Cheers, -- Offer Kaye

is that *easier* than installing a pre-compiled package? Of course I'm assuming that the PPM method *works* as intended... obviously it doesn't... but in an ideal world, all else being equal, PPM would be easier, IMHO. Cheers, -- Offer Kaye

t DLLs etc., I don't think any of Blizzard's 5.5 million customers have ever had a problem installing WoW because they were missing a DLL from some Office version... Just to give an example... why should a PPM package be any different? Yes, I'm a noob when it comes to these things, sorry :) Cheers, -- Offer Kaye
