That looks like a very useful resource. However, I'm not quite sure which 
server type to pick: I'm hosted on a VPS B server (my host is a Verio 
reseller).  Either iserver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or vps2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx might 
apply - which would be best or "closest"?

It seems vcpan takes care of that, no problem there. (Even cpan had no 
problem with that, only the permission needed was a problem.)

I'm going ahead (tomorrow) and try to install WP.cgi first; if I get stuck 
getting it running, I'll try one of those lists but it would help if I knew 
which the most appropriate one is for VPS B.

Thanks for the reference!
