Likewise, thanks for the feedback it is really useful. I had all the good intentions of starting a new VM on my work box and go through all the steps.

It generally comes down to, what do you use to install your module from the command line? CPAN or CPANPLUS? It's a personal choice, but you're right we should mention that :) I have to prepare for YAPC::Europe next week, so I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have to add the right things to the wiki. Likewise, I imagine that Chris Williams (responsible for CPANPLUS-YACSmoke) is also going to be busy next week too. BTW, CPANTS != CPAN Testers, two very different projects :) Thanks for all the feedback, it'll prove useful to help us embelish the guides in the right places.
