No. I suggest that you do some more research. You undershot the runway:). Spiffy is a dependency of ExtUtils::XSpp.

What more research? Shall I quote your own words for you again?

Ok, you said

In order to use ExtUtils::Typemap, there are a few non-core dependencies that need to be installed:

ExtUtils::XSpp is not ExtUtils::Typemap, and Spiffy is not a dependency of ExtUtils::Typemap

cpan doesn't need help figuring out dependencies, core or otherwise -- this is what the utility is all about

All your spiffy program does is make folks think

perl/cpan must be really FUBARed that you need to write a program to install some module

when you don't, since cpan ExtUtils::Typemap installs everything required
