So... what does the A in CPAN stand for again? I'm not sure how easy it would be to track #3, because people could be downloading the modules from other sites, or in different packaged formats. And I don't understand what the benefit of removing a module would be just because it isn't deemed to be immediately useful. -------------------- Christopher Josephes [EMAIL PROTECTED]
