I'm not sure this is such a good idea. There are several examples of modules that rely on other Perl modules that aren't on CPAN. For instance, svk relies on SVN::Mirror which is a part of svn. SWISH::HiLiter needs SWISH::API which is a part of swish-e. There are lots of perl modules tied to various projects that don't exist independently on CPAN. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
