I'm still fairly new to Arch and various package building strategies but the perl stuff looks interesting. I would like to build some perl packages in the near future so hope to keep up with the pacpan developments. I like what CPAN does but one thing I don't like about using the CPAN module to build/install modules is there seems to be no way to quickly uninstall or remove a package that is no longer needed. That's where the Arch packager comes in really handy. I'm not much a forum man so hopefuly some of the traffic may find its way to over here.

I've released the new version of pacpan which provides what I think are some powerfull tools for CPAN packagers on Arch. Please see the following: Pacpan info page: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/pacpan Perl Packaging Guidelines discussion thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89752 Perl Packaging Guidelines ticket on the bug tracker http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18113 You may also want to take a look at bauerbill, which has taken over and improved on pacpan's old ability to install packages from CPAN with full dependency resolution: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/bauerbill
