FWIW, Dermot, I also suggest you go down this road. There are lot of reasons to do it that way. A major reason is that shoehorning CPAN into the distributor’s packaging model is always a bad fit because CPAN has no release process and every author handles API stability differently. You want full control over which version of which modules you install. (Strictly speaking you even want to keep your own vetted CPAN mirror. :-) ) None of this, btw, is difficult.
