This is certainly another way to go - in fact, I'd generally prefer to experience all the pain now than later. The only thing is, I'm a coward and I don't want to have to hide from a crowd of perl-package-owning peasants outside my door. If I can just give them directions to your house, I'd be fine with that. Seriously, though, which way should we go with this? There will probably be minor grumbling either way, but I don't think it will really be that big a deal, so long as we communicate The Plan. -RN -- Robin Norwood Red Hat, Inc.
