I know this is beside the point, but I have to point out that this script will break on at least Windows – and probably every other non-Unix OS as well. * Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2006-02-06 02:25]: >you can unfortunately assume very little as you don't know >anything about the distribution.

Well, at the base level, you know *nothing* about a distribution, because CPAN doesn’t actually require any particular structure at all – it could be a tarball with exactly one .pm file for all you know. But I think it’s still useful to try to test a distribution enough to automatically determine that “this cannot be installed from the CPAN shell” and let users know about the result.
