Someday I'll learn about bundles but as of now it's up to someone else to answer.Not much to learn, unless you want to make one. Just start up the CPAN shell, enter 'install Bundle::LWP', and you're done.
And - while were at it? Is there a document somewhere that talks about just where modules ought to be installed.That varies according to how your Perl is configured. Not that it matters all that much - the MakeMaker-generated makefile handles all the gory details for you.
I can find no evidence of /site-perl/ on my system and there are at least three /Library/ folders buried in the perl zoo.No huge mystery there. Apple configured their Perl a bit differently, to make it fit their folder organization, that's all. Standard modules are in /System/Library/Perl/, and CPAN modules are in /Library/Perl/.
The make-install procedures seem to have a mind of their own and I have no idea where things are going.There's really not much need to know where things are going. The make; make install procedure knows where to install things, so you don't have to figure it out. If you absolutely, positively must know where Perl wants to install things, all you have to do is ask it - check out the ExtUtils::MakeMaker docs.
No offense intended, but you seem to have a rather odd view of things, chasing down dependencies by hand, and complaining because module installation is too simple. Most of us *like* automation.
