in thread telling users how to get CPAN modules

For one thing, the Perl/Tk module is really huge, and a modem user who already has it installed probably doesn't want to have to download it again. It would be sort of like telling everyone who downloads a Java app that they need to download Swing along with it, even if they already have Swing installed :-)
So you would only provide the bundles and nothing else? In that case it wouldn't be practical for everybody.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
