I'm learning Haskell as a background activity, and just wanted to introduce myself and get the list subscription stuff sorted out. My primary machine runs Windows 7. I have Haskell Platform working OK including GCHi-Win, but could not get Lekseh to work. However, trying that showed me the world of Cabel, and I have yet to find an introduction/tutorial on that. The Haskell Platform comes with some libraries, but doesn't have a Cabel tool or anything I'd reconize as a repository, like Lekseh was setting up. It's said that the best feature of Perl is CPAN. I suppose Cabel is Haskell's equivalent of that, or aims to be. So, what's up with that? Starting from a blank prompt (that can run ghc successfully) now what? —John
