PEAR alternatives in other languages

Question

Is there a good class repository like PEAR for PHP for other languages such as Ruby or C#? If so what are they?

Are they any good?

Answer 1

• For Ruby there is rubygems - the de-facto standard repository.
• For C# (.NET) - Codeplex is your best shot I think.

Answer 2

Ruby has its own package manager, rubygems. In addition, Ruby libraries can usually be found on either RubyForge or GitHub.

Answer 3

Perl has the CPAN (possibly the best repository of reusable modules in the world).

Answer 4

There isn't such a thing in C# universe.

Maybe it's because in C# you can compile your binaries, which enhances interoperability.

If you need to find projects for csharp search for example google code, sourceforge, github or codeplex.

I don't know anything about ruby.

Answer 5

Python has the PyPI, Haskell has the Hackage.
