I don't think that's cool.  Anything that's not part of a standard Perl
installation is a bit of a lift already, and if it's not packaged by
major distros then it's really a problem for many people.  (Yeah, they
may know what CPAN is, but they might have local policy issues about
installing directly from there.)
