Why does it seem with Perl that the likelihood of entering dependency hell is inversely proportional to the length of the script you want to write?

I have a 10 liner which requires one simple module. Which requires 3 or 4 modules from cpan. Which themselves require another dozen modules which then fail to compile and on the way to sorting those out, it seems I'm missing a linked library or three that's needed.

Quicker just to hack things with a regex. And people wonder why "not invented here" is a phenomenon.
