I'm not directly involved, but as I understand it, the project aims to resolve many of the platform integration, testing, and usability issues that cropped up around CPAN. CPAN was an amazingly cool step forward, and a first ever in terms of a language's support for its primary code repository (AFAIK), but it has been showing its age, and platform management issues have evolved. Enter the new guy: CPANPLUS. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
