recommended initial apps to install

[Noah]

Okay Larry,

I understand.
there used to be a page that I cant seem to find that had a list of 
extra suggestions when installing perl, cpan, and expect module.

I cant seem to find that page.

I have a pretty good memory what was on it though.

Cheer,s

Noah
