I've done it myself, on occasion. But I think most LFS users are sufficiently anal to want to know what is pulled in - for that, running the commands by hand is the way to go, is it not ?
Also, what is wrong with short ? 8-) Maybe a "perl-modules chapter page" could note that people can use CPAN, and then link to the individual modules - each of those would show 'perl Makefile.PL' or whatever the command is, and note if there is a testsuite. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
