Just because Sun can do it with Java doesn't mean Perl should do it too, especially if the goal is 'saving people trouble from installing modules'. Installing CPAN modules is quite easy in Perl (well, unless it's me trying to install Image::Magick), especially with tools like CPAN and CPANPLUS. If you have not already read A Guide to Installing Modules, please do.

Personally, i think loading CPAN modules from the Internet is a neat idea ... but not very practical. I'll stick to my local copies, thank you. :)
