Why are we not yet seeing some good torrent packages for perl?

I just did a CPAN search and didn't really find anything. I have a hard time getting python to work right. Part of the problem is that I don't use it for anything except torrent.

I'd rather not have it installed at all, especially for one download client. I snagged a copy of two of the C libraries out there with the idea of XS embracing them. Neither of them seems terribly mature.

Many say I'm crazy for not being a fan of python, but am I crazy for wanting a 23k CPAN package for torrent? I'm hardly the best choice, but presently I'm in regular communication with the authors of both of the C packages I got to compile and I intend to produce a package.

I just feel like I'm a bit toward the bottom of the barrel so I wonder why nobody beat me to the punch. What am I missing?
