I really dislike installing them. And more and more I find I need to.
So how would I go about pressuring Apple to include more.
No vendor includes a full CPAN library with the stock Perl. Linux,
Solaris, etc, they're all doing the same thing.
If you install your own copy of Perl, it too will only have a partial
standard core fraction of CPAN.
Get used to CPAN. You aren't going to find a vendor that provides a full
CPAN install -- new ones appear daily, so keeping up is impossible
anyway.
Hm. I really do not want to install the Dev Tools on my Mac OS X
Server boxes. I have been getting around this by installing the
files on a client machine and coping them to the servers, but I don't
believe this is ideal. Does anyone know what problems I could be
causing?
