I decided recently to test CPAN.pm. It suggested updating CPAN. Sure,
thinks I, go ahead.
It then proceeds to pull down a completely new perl and tries to build it
(fails pretty spectacularly, also asks me all sorts of weird questions in
the process).
And each time I start CPAN.pm, it annoys me with info about the newer
version.
This is _bad_.

We have dpkg-perl, don't we?
