I think this problem relates to the CPAN.pm bug we've seen reoocur several times where it tries to upgrade perl. This is one of the biggest complaints I've heard from sysadmins trying to use perl apps in the last few years. It seems like there should be some way to define certain modules as "core" - meaning "don't install unless you're really sure". These "core" things are dangerous to install mindlessly and shouldn't be considered for installation by automatic tools.
