Actually CPAN.pm also resolves dependencies for you.

I'll keep that in mind. http://packages.debian.org/ returned nothing of relevance. Note that now I need the WWW::Form module, which is not available in apt: <<< [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache search WWW::Form [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ >>> My module has several dependencies. So what do I do?
