But that Windows is also Windows. Most Unixen have marginally more intelligent software installation paradigms, so in theory it should be possible for the Perl package to update the CPAN.pm config when you install `wget`, say. The new event/trigger stuff in APT should be able to solve this nicely, f.ex. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
