I think this has a lot of promise.

Are you saying that every time you decide to install a new module, you simply get AS to build a fresh perl distro that includes this module ?
Having to wait over half an hour every time I want to install a new module is not something that I would describe as having much promise.

Or do they just update your existing msi that's still sitting on their server, and then have you download that modified msi (which you can then install over the top) ?
That wouldn't be so bad. It's a bit more wasteful than necessary, but then what isn't wasteful, these days ;-)

Or something else ?

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
