FWIW I'd agree with what Max said. The first time I installed cat on a fresh system it drove me nuts. The second time it was alot easier. I'm just using normal CPAN. The biggest hassle is normally an external xxx-dev library that is needed, it can be a bit of detective work to discover which (installing apt-file helps). I have also had one issue with something that wouldn't install due to a bug in a module that got fixed wthin a day.
Anyhow, you regularly need to install or update various packages off of CPAN, so I figure its worth knowing what is what, and also being there to keep an eye on what os going in there. Next time I do it I will use a fresh system and make a vmware image of the raw system. I regret not doing that this time. D On 8/21/06, A.
