in reply to Load modules from internet

That's already done. There's my The::Net module that allows you to do require "http://www.example.com/some/module.pm"; but I've also seen code on P5P that connects to CPAN. It's probably on CPAN someplace.

I do not know what you mean by "It would be easiest if it would not be from CPAN's .tar.gz files".

Now, just because it's possible doesn't mean I think it's a good thing to do. I find it scary enough to download something from CPAN and to actually install it, I do not want a program to do that automatically. And I certainly don't want to give such programs write access to /opt/perl/lib/site_perl.
