Yes, but any modules installed by plain cpan will not be managed by the portage packaging system, the use of which is a good system-administration goal. The utility g-cpan takes cpan a package name and generates ebuilds (portage packaging definitions) for that package and any still-unpackaged cpan dependencies. However, these generated ebuilds are local to the user's machine, so for widespread deployment, getting all LedgerSMB dependencies accepted into upstream portage or an interest-group portage overlay is the way to make it easy for other users to install LedgerSMB. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
