What advantage does this bring over a plain `cpan WWW::Mechanize::Firefox` (or `cpanm WWW::Mechanize::Firefox` or `cpanp WWW::Mechanize::Firefox`)? As far as I'm aware, WWW::Mechanize::Firefox and all its prerequisites completely specify their respective prerequisites, so there is no need to pull them together in another overarching module.

Can you explain to me why this makes more sense than a 'normal' install? My concerns are that it's another thing that needs to be maintained to keep in step with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox (should it's prerequisites change), an installation via `cpan`/`cpanp` will install the module and it's prerequisites anyway, using another module to do this seems to have no benifit to me. Secondly it doesn't inform the user about the configuration steps required as detailed in WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Troubleshooting and WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Installation.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
