If you can't install a new version of CPAN.pm, how can you install other
modules?  You're either maintaining your own person perl lib, or
installing modules for the entire system.

Might I say that you seem awfully convinced that the sky is falling with
this issue.  Module::Build works pretty well.  That's my opinion, and the
opinion of a lot of people that are smarter than me.  There are a few
rough edges with regards to compatibility with MakeMaker, but they aren't
as bad as you make them to be.

Regards.
