I was more joking about the timing of it really.

A downloaded directory of perl modules is no different than modules in
anty or lib or site_lib directory....or for a MyApp directory of
modules. What CatInABox doesn't include are things that need to be
compiled on different platforms, but if you complile sessions, and
install it onto your machine, catinabox will use it.

I have CatInABox on my shiny new 1Gb thumbdrive. Under windows I
installed compiled versions of sessions and auth into my local install
and did the same on my ubuntu lappy. Everything just works.

Granted, CatInABox was geared toward someone who "just read an article
and wanted to try it without all of the installation mess"...but one the
files are on your machine and you tweak @INC, anything goes.
