There's always a chance, although CPAN packages are generally getting better about playing along with package systems But the real problem with this idea is that it means something has to monitor CPAN to detect and convert new packages — and with the size of and amount of sheer cruft on CPAN, that's incredibly wasteful. Better to add packages on demand. -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
