perl -MCPAN just gave me the dreaded "Out of memory" and I have only a simple scan to perform and parse - at the moment I am leaning towards hacking it!
You don't have to use the CPAN module to install things from CPAN itself, of course. In the end, whether you code something yourself or download a module from CPAN depends upon your objectives, and how you want to spend your time. If your goal is to spend time coding and debugging, you should certainly write your own code. If you've want a task solved quickly, cheaply, and correctly, your best bet is a module that's already been coded and debugged.
