We cobbled together perl + all perl modules required.

No CPAN. No failed makes. No mismatches.
Can't the same be done for Koha?

Im sure it could, you volunteering Rick? :)

If in your opinion it would fly for Linux (as a start)
I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Anyone else want to come on board as perhaps an advisor?


I do have a bit of a pet itch to automate a big chunk of the perl- module-install stuff that needs to be done before a koha install
So I'm keen to do some work on this too

My idea was to continue to use CPAN still - but your idea and mine dovetail quite nicely

Perhaps something like..
do a search for a perl module in a tgz/par file
  if none is found then attempt a cpan search


FYI: take a look at MJ Ray's 'install-CPAN.pl' script as a starting point
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=install-CPAN.pl
