Wait a minute--I have to be root to install it? You just said several messages ago that it was a "simple" install, and now I have to involve my administrator...?

Okay, Adam's statement about "Perl's downfall" is overblown, but the fact remains that Perl's model of installation and module use cut it off from some user communities. Mind you, as a programmer, I know firsthand that the power and flexibility of Perl's modules outweigh the disadvantages. But pretending that there isn't any downside to it at all--that it's the perfect, be-all-and-end-all way that every system out there should be administered--is blind to the realities of a lot of potential users out there.
