Subject: Feature Request
It would be nice to be able to check a list of packages to see if any one of them is installed. Something like: any_package(['libtest-config-system-perl', 'cpan-libtest-config-system-perl'], 'Test::Config::System is installed'); If a person used cpan2dist (or a similar tool) to create their own perl packages then they may have the "original" vendor supplied version (if it existed) or a newer version. We may not really care which one. Just an idea... TIA!

So, that's a really good idea :). I've not run into it yet because our site is rather homogenous, but I know in the future I'll hit problems where I try to test packages that are differently named on different distros (eg ntp-server vs ntpd). I'll start working on it. I hate to make promises, as it just tempts Murphy, but I think I'll have it uploaded some time within the next few days.

I've just uploaded Test::Config::System 0.50, which contains the check_any_package function. It should be indexed within a few hours. Thanks.
