I don't agree in the sense that PPM is an established, working system, and producing PPM files needs no PPM code that isn't available already in Module::Build and I guess ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I'm not interested in creating yet another fancy incompatible format and pushing it down users throats, or rather, I'm more under the impression that there won't be users with throats open for this product. I'm not interested in creating a shiny new world order external library packaging factory but more interested in producing working modules that install external libraries via CPAN below Perl, provided that $Config{make} and a working $Config{cc} are available.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
