(Mac? I wish.) I have Ubuntu at home and It's a little more complicated than "just works" but I installed VirtualBox packages from their site and that "just works". I have a Damn Small Linux (DSL) machine with gcc and libs added and compiled perls 5.6.2, 5.8.8, and 5.10.0 (each in threaded and non-threaded versions.) I need to get CPAN::Reporter configured, need some sort of smoker (custom or Barbie's shiny new YACSmoke) and then some way to control the whole rig. I'm planning on using a minicpan mirror for them so I'm not downloading the same packages from the net over and over again. I'm curious what other people are doing. David
