[pacman-dev] Is there plans to improve perl modules handling?
Hi! I noticed on Fruglaware's site that they have new system of installing perl modules from CPAN - fwcpan which is integrated with FwPacman to support dependencies. Is something like that planned for Arch in some distant future? And if yes - will this work with new pacman to support such module management with dependencies?

I suggested this once - before frugalware made fwcpan - but I got shot down pretty fast. Hopefully people now have renouced their opinions.

I found nice script for CPAN modules handling: perl-cpanplus-pacman - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=21048 Hmm... If something like this could be official Arch tool than all perl modules that are not dependencies for some other packages can be removed from all repos. But IMHO it is better to have some minimal support in Pacman too. I think about something like this in PKGBUILD: depends=('pkgA' 'pkgB' 'CPAN') modules=('cpan-module-a' 'cpan-module-b' 'cpan-module-c') Pacman sees the CPAN as dependency then checks if each cpan-module-* package (they are standard Arch packages) is installed and if not - asks user to install them and then passes each module package name to helper script which downloads missed modules and generates those missed cpan-module-* packages, then pacman continues to install our main PKGBUILD. (wow, such long sentence :-D)
