I find myself watching the "fink install" or "fink update-all" carefully, getting ready to type "sudo rm -rf /sw/lib/perl5/darwin" immediately if something gets rammed into there.For the wishlist, I would like a way to say "I'm managing my own perl installation, thank you". I'm sure it'd be too messy to require the html-parser-pm maintainer to also provide a dummy system-html-parser-pm, so I'm hoping there's a more sane global solution to that. Maybe there could be one large "system-perl" that provides all the perl requirements for every package. Or maybe just an entry in the config file.
needed perl modules to be installed. After all, CPAN does allow updates via
If such packages are not installed, perl -MCPAN - e shell could be invoked with a preset level of inactivity.
On the other hand certain perl modules are dependent upon potential fink packages-- various XML modules may depend on expat, Bio:: depends on a number of programs-ace, hmmr, ncbi-tools, etc. To my knowledge, CPAN will not download, package, and install these dependencies.
