Hi, Thanks for the reply, I think that I understand you point. Now I am starting to fear cpan installations. Is there a chance that by doing a simple - naive cpan installation of a module I, potentially, can damage another installed module?

The problem is that there's no promise that package A and B from the CPAN don't both install file C. So any naive packager/installer will fail. It takes *hand* tuning by the distro makers to get this to play well. -- Randal L.
