CPAN Alternativesby raybies (Chaplain) |

raybies has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Probably a stupid question but: Is there an alternative to CPAN? I cannot access CPAN from work, and it sucks because the IT folks don't understand why... (It used to work, I've complained repeatedly, and still... nothing... ) apparently it is not blocked content, but simply attempting to access it causes a Network Error while connecting with the DNS server. So when I want to DL this or that Perl package, or read CPAN's help on a given module, I can't. Sigh... ...weep for me... After searching dozens of sites, I think I'm just screwed... PS> I use perl on redhat most commonly, on PC's I've been able to get to Activestate's website okay, and they have an assortment of packages... though not all that interest me...)
