Well, see, there you go. Everything I've ever needed in a Perl module is
already there. Just didn't know where to look, or the documentation isn't
quite out there yet. It seems some documentation, and some additional
comments in the RAA are all *I* needed. I still haven't seen anyone else
say, "well there is X module that I couldn't do my project in Ruby
without, so I had to do it in Perl" -- oh, except to make it easy with
something equivalent to the CPAN shell:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

So, Daniel, do you have a pointer for that too? I thought I knew a good 
bit about ruby, but I've had some eye openers today, I need to shut up and
dig through the distribution sources...


I think this just goes to show that everyone should get over their CPAN
envy, because it is un-necessary.
