I know I'm coming at this from over a month later but I have to second 
this.  The only issues we have run into is installing DBD's and adding 
other modules ( Catalyst or dependencies ).
    These are being installed on Linux-Vserver guests.  We use yum to 
install those perl-Modules that are binary-pains in the butt.  As we 
discover a new need or update we add the new module to cat-install 
and/or run it.  Takes a few minutes as we've only got a T1 but it is 
pretty much a watch the process run situation.  Nice when you want a 
coffee break.  :-)
