Re: CPAN version of PPM broken by latest ppd files | Re: Support for tar.bz2
Hi,
Can a 'ppm install' be easily made to work if the blib is compressed into a
'tar.bz2' instead of the usual 'tar.gz' ?

If not, are there any plans to provide such an option ?

I'm having trouble uploading a 5.7 megabyte binary to a particular server.
It occurs to me that if the blib could be placed into a 'tar.bz2', then the
file would be significantly smaller and this particular problem would
probably go away.

Download time for large binaries over slow connections would also be
significantly improved.

Cheers,
Rob
