Hear, hear! In some corporate environments, it's a pain in the butt to get new modules installed globally (since I need them on about 200 machines, 175 of which I don't own, and 150 of which I don't know about). If all the buzzwords were covered (HTML, XML, SOAP, SMTP, etc.), it'd be so convenient.

That's not to say it's not worth fighting the corporate environment to get those modules. It's just that it takes months to get there. (Perl 5.6->5.8 upgrade taking over a year, ... and counting. We were originally going to use 5.8.1 as the brand-new perl at the time.)
