Hi all!
As part of developing Test::Run, I maintain several CPAN modules and install
them to a directory under my home-dir. Now, until today what I did was write
a bash function to run the installation commands ("perl Makefile.PL
PREFIX=$FOO", "make", "make test", make install", or the Module::
I suspect that many of these are API driven. Programming should be fun
and using an API that doesn't "fit" isn't fun. As a result people go
write their own stuff that they feel is easier/faster to use. This is
the flip side of impatience and hubris. E.g. CPAN search found 510
"Simple", 8
Wow, what great timing :)
To add to your use case, on the project I'm currently working on, we
have 5 CPAN-style dists, probably 10 by the time we are done, but they
all need to be installed in a particular order.
Due to the peculiarities of the situation, doing a CPAN::Inject style
setup is

You mischaracterize the situation.
I use 5.8.0 as minimum, but for unicode I think it should be 5.8.1 - but I
am unsure. COuld you give a reason for why specifically 5.8.3?
Actually, in consultation with Audrey and other $experts,
Perl::MinimumVersion applies a 5.8.4 minimum whenever it sees any
mention of Unicode.
I believe

Greetings from Canada,
Selenium Remote Control 0.71 was just released, and it's an awesome
tool for automated functional web testing. Selenium RC is a java*
jar file that launches a combination web server and proxy that allows
you to use perl/python/ruby/java/c# scripts to launch and contr
