If this is provided by big distros, this is great. This is not the
impression I got but I might be wrong there. Maybe then a better way
would be to change the install of LMS to launch a CPAN installation of
these? Or to have somewhere a menu to "install additional dependencies?
Why do you say "NOT" to that?
