install whole CPAN ? Alexander Oberhuber 04-19-2006

When I was thinking about installing more CPAN modules, I was wondering -
isn't there a way of getting *all* CPAN modules and of installing them in one
big move? Maybe some CD-ISO archive file, and an autoinstaller (for Linux:
Suse 10)? Anything like that?

This may not be a good idea, because there is no mechanism to prevent
conflicts on module names. For example, the SOAP-Lite distribution
contains a module called SOAP::Packager. But so does the SOAP
distribution. Are they interchangeable? Don't bet on it.

You can't, unless you have all third party products installed that some =

modules
are written for to support: DBD-*** (Oracle, Unify, Ingres, Informix, ..=
.) =

maybe the best example

OTOH, it would make a great lightning talk. Sort of the Perl version of
"Supersize Me" :-)
