This is a REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA!!! And please turn off the stupid warnings and get a grip. CGI is hugely important! It has already been hard telling people to use this or that version of Perl, but now you are going to create that on steroids. This is the dumbest idea I have ever heard from this community. Are you trying to self-destruct? Maybe you should try to explain to a customer who uses your software and knows nothing about Perl how to use CPAN to add modules and how to tell if they even need to. Ugggh, I am so upset over this. It is one thing to refuse bloat, and it is another to remove features. The first is good, and the second shows utter lack of understanding in software development.
