By the way, you really shouldn't use cpan at all. If the module isn't
available in Debian or Ubuntu, you should package it yourself and use the
Debian package management system. It's very easy to create perl module
packages -- you could probably learn how to do it in less than two hours.
Then you could finally become a Debian Developer with your perl module
packages, and help the whole world.
