Giving up on Ruby packaging

I love Perl, and I'm a Perl god. But CPAN is a plague unto it. If any piece of software should be called a ghetto, CPAN is it.

I like cpanm[1] quite a lot. Have you tried it as an alternative installer for modules? (I'm no Perl god, but I still maintain a healthy chunk of Perl code I wrote for sysadmin things a few years ago. I find that cpanm does exactly what I need it to, without the overhead of CPAN.)

I love Perl too. I couldn't disagree more. I love the CPAN and I have had no trouble with it at all.
