My last post was misleading. You can upload whatever you want, including a subset of CPAN. But I don't know if anyone has ever tried Mini::CPAN the module on VMS, and last I heard, CPAN.pm itself doesn't work on VMS. With CPANPLUS now passing tests, there's hope, but that will require 5.10. I think once 5.10 is out and the dust settles, I should set up an installation on the testdrive and give people a pointer to it.
