Hi All,

Have you ever been at a customers' site and
found out the Perl module you thought
_everyone_ had on their system wasn't?

OK, no sweat. Jump on the office manager's
computer to download it from CPAN - oops -
the sysadmin has installed a new firewall
precluding web downloads/no one has ever
downloaded anything before and who knows what
the proxy server's IP is/the sysadmin just
plain won't let you download the module for
security reasons (and he sees you as a threat
to his job).

Well - say no more.

This weekend I built CPAN via email (using
XMail's message filtering/Jenda's Mail::Sender/
etc.) You can SEARCH CPAN and DOWNLOAD modules
via email.

Please try it by sending a message with a blank
subject line to:

mailto:cpan@;beaucox.com

Please let me know what you think. (Is anyone out
there old enough to remember ftp-mail?)

Aloha => Beau.

PS: Jeremy, you inspired me!
