In addition, there are many modules, using c source code. Simply copying the .pm file won't help you, the c source code has to be compiled, too. Another reason is, that there are modules out in the world, that has to be adapted to your system, E.g., I could imagine, Mail::Sendmail, Archive::Zip have to look where it can find sendmail or gzip (or how they even simulate them on a Win* system).
