Hmm, that would waste a lot of disk. Maybe we could cache the tarballs somewhere. Maybe on the network or even Amazon S3. Some sort of big repository of modules. We can call it the Network of Archived Postinstall Crap, NAPC for short! (For the sarcasm impaired, if you're just going to store the whole post-install source tarball you might as well just grab it from CPAN again)
