Bundles are for when you don't have a dependency tree, which AxKit has.
But the real problem is the non-perl modules. And the fact that AxKit
doesn't seem to work with PHP. And the Apache-expat bug/problem. All these
things make installing AxKit a bit non-trivial.
I quite like the Zope model - a single distribution which just includes
and installs everything you need in a single place. You get python, the
httpd, the database, everything. Of course if you have more complex needs,
like running Zope from within Apache, you need to do some extra work, but
out of the boz Zope gives you a great system that just runs. We could do
that with AxKit - just ship it with Apache, mod_perl, the whole lot. But I
don't think that would appeal to Perl people somehow. Thoughts?
