Exactly!!! We have packages for most linux distributions and ports  
for *bsd.
CPAN.pm/CPANPLUS is for those that know how to use it and why.

What you are complaining about is CPAN (and it's tools), this  
discussion has nothing todo with Catalyst, it would be much more  
productive to move it to the p5p list since it's a general problem.
