I'm unix-savvy and I certainly would appreciate anyone saving me from
****ing around with CPAN. Not that I particularly dislike CPAN (it's
consumed hours of my life I'll never get back but at the same time
it's probably saved many more) it's just that *anything* that's a
conceivable point of failure that might use up time should be avoided
IMO.

Incidently, is it just me or ... recently the first URL in my CPAN
urllist stopped working. I assumed CPAN would just use the second one
but instead it just seemed to spew zillions of errors as it tried its
various protocols and utilities, and then failed. I deleted the bad
URL and it worked. Wha..?
