Don't do that! If you get hit by a truck and someone updates Test::Moose to take care of a bug, who will update your bundled version? If you don't get hit by a truck but simply don't realize that Test::Moose was updated? If you do realize, but it takes you 3 days to update once mainline was fixed, and it takes mainline 3 days to update once Joe Random's patch was submitted, why should new users from these 3 days get a buggy, outdated version when a better one is updated? Aren't the 3 days till the patch is applied enough? CPAN.pm handles module dependencies. All Tels really has to do is set 'follow' instead of 'ask', or use one of the tools available to make a copy that is network indepenedant. -- () Yuval Kogman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0xEBD27418 perl hacker & /\ kung foo master: /me kicks %s on the nose: neeyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
