Your technical question was answered already, but I suspect (I may be<br>
wrong, of course) that you make the same mistake many Lisp newbies<br>
make - you're confusing packages and systems. A "package"
is a<br>
first-class Lisp object defined in the ANSI standard. You can read<br>
about it here for example:<br>
<br>
http://gigamonkeys.com/book/programming-in-the-large-packages-and-symbols.html<br>
<br>
(Read the whole book if you haven't done so already.)<br>
<br>
A "system" (that's a common usage of the name although there's
no<br>
fixed definition for it) is something that's defined by a defsystem<br>
facility like ASDF - it's more or less a collection of source files<br>
plus instructions on how they are to be compiled.<br>
<br>
Very often there's a system and a package of the same name, like it's<br>
the case for CL-PPCRE. That doesn't have to be the case, though.
The<br>
names could be different, one system could define more than one<br>
package or no package at all, you can define a package without<br>
defining a system, etc.<br>
