In J2EE, they have tried hard to provide:

    1) consistent naming and calling conventions
    2) extensibility through appropriate inheritance and callbacks
    3) address enterprise class problems like logging, messaging,
       and configuration

CPAN does not address these issues, which makes CPAN hard to use
for enterprise class systems.  That's why we need P5EE.  CPAN works,
but you have to make it work for you.  It isn't a turnkey enterprise
class collection of APIs.
