Maybe "current port" and "previous port"? } } I figure just one link to the most recent available download is sufficient. } Maybe it isn't. I am willing to entertain discussion. One link probably is fine, so long as it can be made clear that "what's available for MacPerl at the moment isn't a port of the latest version". Since you insist on using new fangled lynx unfriendly tables :-), maybe make it a little more lynx unfriendly and use color coded text or something to indicate "this isn't the latest yet"? Maybe even an icon :-) ? } } I did have another thought as I looked at the site. I am thinking about } not linking directly to the distribution, but just linking to cpan.perl.com } as we do now, which links to the most recent distribution. And then adding } another link to CPAN Testers. Problem with CPAN Testers is that we go by } distribution there, where on MMP and cpan.perl.com we go by module name. } So maybe the slot now that contains link to the distribution could be } instead the distribution name, which would make it easy to link to CPAN } Testers. Module name isn't always a good idea, anyway. For example, libnet, Mailtools, etc. } } Why link to CPAN Testers at all? Because we can. More interoperability. Sounds good to me. } } -- } Chris Nandor mailto:pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ } %PGPKey = ('B76E72AD', [1024, '0824090B CE73CA10 1FF77F13 8180B6B6']) } -- Paul Schinder schinder@pobox.com ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-modules-request@macperl.org ---------END OF RETURNED MAIL--------
