Strawberry was first in %PATH.

How about less dependencies? ;) Unlikely (except some testing dependencies maybe). I'm from the "re-use" school. Shouldn't we all be? Nothing make me laugh more than module boasting "uses no non-core modules". well _that_ module would be one non-core module!!! > An upgrade would basically involve downloading the source and then > running 'dmake; dmake install'. installed with Module::Build. it works with the exception of a test failure as lunix gtk gnerates a "asked to lazy-load Data::TreeDumper::Renderer::GTK, but that package is not registered..." warning that camelbox don't generate. Also the bat file stopped working. the problem is that there is nothing to work with just a very brief flashing window. works fine when I run the script directely. > Is there any reason why I can't have CPAN do all of the dirty work of > downloading and installing the application?

This happends quite often. The trick is to add the dependencies by hand. With AsciiO running in windows, I will try to find all those dependencies and generating an exe.

Adam, I believe that, for the sake of Chocolate and all windows perl developers sanity, you should push for this. It would be a great addition to the Fruit-perl distribution family. Could you take control of this activity? I'm a total noob in this windows-perl thingy but I will test at your will (as lon as it's in windows XP for which I have a licence).
