Absolutely. They offer pre-built packages for Linux (RPM), Mac and
Windows so you don't have to do any of that.
This was the "Perl Source Code", something separate. When I first
looked at it, I thought it was aimed specifically at Perl hackers.
Now that's Dan's explained the reasoning, I understand that it's
more of a generic Unix for those systems that don't do RPMs. So
yeah, it makes sense to make life easy for them given that many won't
be familiar with CPAN.
And as I said in my previous post, it was a minor thing - a point of
curiosity rather than a real complaint. No offence intended, none taken
I hope.
It's still a big SlimServer++ in my books :-)
