Sounds like a bare Perl 6 distribution might be just what you need to get them to weaken their restriction to "only modules with a good cpanrating" or, best of all, "evaluate each module according to its merits." Well, actually, I'm not sure that last one would be best, as getting each module evaluating would almost inevitably entail getting five or six high-up people together, none of whom have any interest in you getting your job done, and who probably hate each others' guts, and getting them to commit to some form of responsibility-generating paper- trail. Call me cynical if you like, but I prefer to call it, "experienced." -- "It must be accepted as a principle that the rifle, effective as it is, cannot replace the effect produced by the speed of the horse, the magnetism of the charge, and the terror of cold steel." -- British Cavalry training manual, 1907 ::: http://surreal.istic.org/
