Well, mostly because I didn't want to fracture the namespace with a
top-level Razor2:: entry without permisssion and changing everything to
Mail::Razor2 is a little painful, given the way how my local CVS is setup,
etc. Razor2 will be on CPAN someday, either as Razor2::* (if PAUSE admins
are happy with that) or Mail::Razor2::*

You could alternatively download razor-agents-sdk, that contains all
modules required by Razor2.

I am confused now. Razor1 doesn't ask you to do that, so probably did
install Razor2 (which is a good thing). Also, you don't have to register
if you are not reporting. However, you do have to create your config
files, etc with razor-admin -create

This is strange. I will look into it.

Yes, this is normal. perllocal.pod is a list of all modules installed on
your system.
cheers,
