*>So what's the difference between these three?
*>
*> perl -MCPAN -e shell
Installs modules from CPAN and compiles them locally.
*> ppm
Installs modules from ActiveStates' PPM repository, no local compiling
iirc.
*>Are there any other package installers out there? Do these utils offer
*>any more functions than installing packages?
The is another on http://kobesearch.cpan.org/ that is called
'quickinstall'.
CPAN.pm is still the most flexible and, in my opinion, the best and will,
as far as I know, work even with ActivePerl.
