Perl is "enterprise" worthy right now, in that companies use it and rely on it to make lots of money. Of those, CPAN, smoking and RT *are* installable privately anyway. Not sure about PAUSE. Our own experience where I work is that we don't need a PAUSE, as we have CVS for day-to-day work, and a release management process that code goes through before anything else can rely on it. search.cpan.org's source isn't available, but Kobesearch is - it's what's behind http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/. But again, we've found that it's not needed for our private repository. -- David Cantrell | Reality Engineer, Ministry of Information Sobol's Law of Telecom Utilities: Telcos are malicious; cablecos are simply clueless.
