... CPAN module to install packages from source, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm completely floored by that. Is it a common sentiment?

One of the first things I do on any given desktop platform is hit the cpan shell and start installing. Usually the stuff in the system's local packages is very out of date, since the maintainers rarely enjoy maintaining 300 module packages. So they don't do it very often.

    The CPAN shell is fine; so therefore is the module.

    I'm only arguing against programatically driving the CPAN module for the purpose of automated installation.

    There's a bunch of things that can go wrong that are better left to either a live operator, or the system's package management tools.
