Um, don't think so. Depends how you read:

        The following modules are all included in the Bundle::Slash
        distribution.

        DBI
        Data-ShowTable
        TimeDate
        Msql-Mysql-modules
        ApacheDBI
        Apache-DBILogConfig

etc. And how you understand Bundles to work. Bundles are placeholders
to go fetch other stuff, they don't _include_ the stuff. Otherwise
you'd end up frozen in time. Although it seems to me that sentence
above is pretty unambiuous that the modules themselves ARE in the
Bundle. doc bug?

*aghast!*

How can you possibly have a machine that's _not_ somehow connected in
this day and age! I've been known to install stuff of CPAN over my
mobile on the train if necessary! :-)

It comes as shipped:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/CPAN.pm

perl -mCPAN -eshell

Zope and PHP suck in so many and varied ways :-) And your next install
will be so much quicker. Glad you didn't have MySQL issues too...
