Searching CPAN

Visit CPAN and for the modules String::Random, Set::IntSpan and Set::Array, find the following: (a) latest version number, (b) purpose of the module and, (c) author. Given that arrays are native variables in perl (remember @array), what is the usefulness of the Set::Array module?

A Canadian CPAN Mirror

There is a CPAN mirror at the University of Winnipeg. Find the site for this mirror using Google, or your favourite search engine. This mirror site also maintains the Perl FAQ. Read the perlfaq1 section, which covers general questions about Perl.
