I think this is a valid concern. What can we do that would allow
more hosting services to have more core functionality for CGI type
things? I have recently used Imager-0.45, (<a href="http://imager.perl.org">imager.perl.org</a>), and
it's dependencies are not huge for the ability to make images on the
fly. But I can imagine that some admins might get annoyed by the
conflicts between freetype and freetype2, libgif and libungif, etc.<br>

First I have to state that I love CPAN. Its what makes perl useful<br>everywhere. Though it's not without is's issues. For me though the<br>largest issue is when running in a shared server enviroment. With PHP<br>just about everything I would use on a normal day is included by
<br>default (well GD i guess would be the exception on some older boxes..)<br>and if I need I can install PEAR with out the need to worry about<br>having admin access or more imporantly access to gcc. Though with CPAN<br>
there are a few root libs that you need (I keep running in to needing<br>libxml forexample).<br><br>So does any one have a good solution in dealing with such cases? I<br>cant expect that every hosting service would have every module
<br>installed by default, I can try to make a local install for most<br>modules but if there are libs that you need your still out. Am I just<br>barking up the wrong tree?<br><br>benh~<br>_______________________________________________
