Please try to remember that some of us sell commercial free software.
Free as in freedom, not necessarily price.  Maybe you were talking about
software you get for free being harder than stuff you pay for, or maybe
you were talking about free software installation being harder than
proprietary software.  The first is probably true, but I think the second
is backwards.

We can probably do that, but CPAN messes up package systems, so it
couldn't be automatic.  The 1.9.x installer already prints the exact
commands that the sysadmin can use for CPAN.
