No, because the CPAN.pm shell is an installer, not a packager. It does not maintain a list of which files belong to which installations, and will happily let two installations both write to the same file. This will be problematic when you want to remove one of those installations later. If you want package management, you'll have to use a distribution (like many Linux and BSD distributions) that have taken the extra time to "package" the CPAN distributions. That has its own downsides, of course. -- Randal L.
