It's a pain for sure. Ease of setup for the end user is probably the the
prime benefit (especially as far the folks selling these things are
concerned) but it's also very important to lock in a particular version of
these modules so that problems aren't introduced my module changes. This
way a slimp3 developer will need a good reason to upgrade a module and
will presumably test the integration before checking it in.

It would be good for someone (probably Sean on a dedicated system... his
business :) ) to be our plain vanilla perl install tester. Certainly
before any file release, we'll need to make sure that we've included
everything that we depend on. In the meantime, it looks like Mike will
sound the alarm. It looks like the rest of us have added many CPAN modules
to our site-perl already and won't easily catch these things. Hmmm...
unless we can explicitly remove site-perl from @INC in the slimp3 server?
