#2 Re: Perl Packages - the return Posted by simonw (84.45.xx.xx) on Sat 29 Oct 2005 at 04:23 There was a sudden flurry of activity of the Debian perl list. http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2005/10/msg00025.html Jos replied amazingly quickly (I thought he'd be recovering from the O'Reilly conference, or have more important things to do than talk to newbies like me). Apparently the CPAN link hadn't been announced, but Google found it somehow, so I was letting the cat out of the bag early. The summary is that basically, yes, a whole new set of tools for packaging CPAN is online, and Jos wants some Debian enthusiasts to step up and test, and help out. Obviously it is too late for Sarge, although I can see a need for a "CPAN backports" at my company, and we can't be alone, perhaps we'll see even more of CPAN available in future Debian releases. Catalyst is already packaged and working in future versions of Debian. What no Maypole? So it seems we now have two sets of tools for making debs from CPAN.
