Well -- There is certainly no reason for that other than maybe not having to worry about the hastle of getting the dev files. The XS stuff is usually a lot safer to muddle with than the pure perl stuff simply because the XS learning curve precludes the Debian Perl guys. Again, they have a strong tendency to mess up clean perl code because it is easy for them to do so. As was previously mentioned by example libxml-sax-perl. A lot of Perl people use Debian, I use it. I love apt/dpkg works great for my needs. I'm by all means an "Ubuntu fanboy" everyone in family is running it. I simply disapprove of taking something knowingly breaking it, and publishing it as if nothing happened. -- Evan Carroll System Lord of the Internets _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
