Task:: modules that are uploaded to CPAN are not necesarily suitable to hand-installing in the way that you want.

On the other hand (and this is the entire point of Task::) you can use anything that the CPAN configuration module (in this case Module::Install) supports.

For your situation, try putting the following extra command just before WriteAll.

auto_install;

This will cause some extra magic to be bundled into the installer that will spawn off a CPANPLUS instance that DOES do the automation of mass module installs that you want.

Of course, this assumes you aren't uploading to CPAN. If you are uploading to CPAN, auto_install can still be a bit buggy (it's supposed to silently degrade when running inside an existing CPAN client, but breaks sometimes still) so it's strongly recommended not to use auto_install for modules that are uploaded to the CPAN.
