When you install freebsd or linux, is it a problem that all the perl modules
you need have to fetched from cpan ? why can't they call just be part of the
OS ?'
likewise with dns servers, samba, apache etc.. this is a bit of a stretched
example
but the point is the same.

Personall, I'd live to just be able to download the server with pg_dump psql
etc..

But that's just me for what it's worth.
