It would be an opportunity to learn from some of the CPAN's mistakes (which to be fair have only be learned over time), and start with a clean and separate service. For example: the permissions model; handling versions, and version constraints on dependencies; and CPAN vs BackPAN.<br /><br />Plus CPAN was created well before the era of git(hub) & friends, Travis-CI, and other services. Interesting to think what a modern CPAN, without the constraints of back compat, might look like.Neil Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150142695938026866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216314883714415579.post-61357652817174874512015-10-08T15:40:20.938-07:002015-10-08T15:40:20.938-07:00To clarify the contact info: it's the #perl6 c...To clarify the contact info: it's the #perl6 channel on the irc.freenode.net IRC server: irc://irc.freenode.net/perl6Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856238944833580220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216314883714415579.post-58808218928130691662015-10-08T15:39:49.992-07:002015-10-08T15:39:49.992-07:00To clarify the contact info: it's the #perl6 c...To clarify the contact info: it's the #perl6 channel on the irc.freenode.net IRC server: irc://irc.freenode.net/perl6Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856238944833580220noreply@blogger.com
