An excellent account!
Being partly lazy in a bad way, and partly not having the need as of yet, I haven't tried out CPANPLUS myself yet. I've read about it in perl.com and seen people here and otherwise referring to it as the new, cool way of doing things. Without actually trying it though, I don't really know what that means.
You give lots of good examples and reasons why I should go install CPANPLUS right away, to at least play with it. I just wanted to say good job, well written and thanks. :)

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
