Packaging perl and CPAN modules

According to a report generated in 2007 less than 10% of the CPAN packages are redistributed by Debian and Fedora and much less by the other distributions.

This is frustrating to the end user as they need to install many other packages directly from CPAN. Because they already have to install from CPAN they don't care asking the distributors to include those packages nor do they come and help packaging. Hence there are few packages....

In this session we will try to break the vicious cycle of the chicken and the egg and find an improvement to the situation.
