And what's so complex about...
ppm install module-name
Nothing really. The bigger problem with many CPAN modules is not the
M.PL/test/install sequence it's that many mods require other utilties which are
normally only found on unix systems. This is the basic problem that users run
up against when installing CPAN mods (on non-unix systems). Sure, nmake.exe is
easy enough to find, but what of other utils?
In any event, I'm still awe struck by the "Visual Perl" announcement. However,
the concept does sound intriguing. Having a hard time accepting that MS is so
closely embracing perl.
