    That would be because you're a fucking idiot and they answered that question so fucking long ago that no one with half a brain doesn't know the answer already.

    Perl 6 Myths

    From that page in HUGE LETTERS:

    Perl 6 can use CPAN modules.

    There you go. Question answered. TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO.

    Why your post got modded up I'll never know.

    Follow up to my prior post...

    There was a perl PIL compiler that was commited in July of 2005.
    From the README.

    PIL2JS - PIL to JavaScript compiler

    =head1 DESCRIPTION

    C is a Perl 5 program which takes PIL as input (as given by C) and outputs JavaScript.

    Looks like the same thing to me. Again, not listed in prior art.

    The most recent and up-to-date OpenGL code is in the sdlperl1 repository. I'd love help getting that merged into the repository on sdl.perl.org.

  7. RT on Windows by autrijus · · Score: 5, Informative · on Bugzilla on Windows?

    RT is an enterprise-grade ticketing system which enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users. It is used by Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and development organizations worldwide.

    I have created a Windows port of RT, and have been maintaining it for two years now, selling support contracts for a living, as well as developing RT-Foundry, a project similar to GForge/Trac, on top of RT.

    The RT-Win32 installer comes with its own Apache2, MySQL4.1, Perl 5.8.6 and Fetchmail, so you'd not need any other existing SQL server to set it up. I'd be happy if you'd give it a try. :)

  8. Re:Microsoft's 2 open source projects...are CPL by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative · on Microsoft Planning on Opening Up More Source
    As indicated in the article, these sourceforge projects uses the "Common Public License" (CPL).

    This led to the question of what is the CPL and how does this differ from other licenses. A little Googling on my part turned up this site that compares the open source licenses.

    The most significant difference between the CPL and the GPL involves the license of derivative works.
