Hey John ---

Seems like a great start.  I think there are two ways to go from here.

1) You could make your shell script into a Perl bundle.  Bundles are
   special Perl modules that do nothing other than load other
   modules.  Check 'perldoc CPAN' check the section 'Bundles'.

2) You could create a modified Makefile.PL or META.yml for
   Task::Catalyst that declares these things as prerequisites.  That
   way they'll be loaded automatically by CPAN.

I think a thin approach might be better.  Instead of ignoring the the
CPAN dependencies, add thin layer of definitions to supplement them
until the dependencies can be fixed.  If it's only a few lines, it
will be easier to keep in sync as the dependencies change.

Thanks!
