I'm thinking so.  CPAN should properly handle its dependencies.  One of 
the big problems I'm seeing is modules that should exist (XML::LibXML, 
Module::Install, some others) that it can't find on CPAN when it tries to 
install them.  This causes other modules (HTML::Mason) to fail to install.

Wonder what is going on.
