If the main impediment is security, you have to know what the checksums of the modules you're looking for are, and that means you have to know exactly what version you're looking for (or have info on all versions). Which implies that you might need something like Perl 6's ability to (attempt to) use two different versions of the same module simultaneously. But don't let me discourage you from playing with it in Perl 5... :-) Larry
