I've heard tales (2), (3) about the autobundle feature in CPAN, and was
contemplating trying it out to manage our perl installs. What I'd like to
do is:
(1) Use the OS install utilities to lay down a basic linux
(2) Have puppet build config files and packages as needed
(3) Have (insert cool perl tool here) install all my required packages
automagically without playing the CPAN return key waltz.
(4) Go home early :)

I install all of my Perl modules as RPMs. CPAN is slick as long as
you have <2 machines and loads of time to babysit the Enter key, but
it sucks as a package management system.
