I am debating whether to just install some scripts when users
install my modules from CPAN.

I can't see many of the installations being by people who want to
work with the modules rather than the scripts.

But what if they have an executable of the same name that is
clobbered by one of my scripts?

Is it enough just to tell them in the README? Would that really
be enough? They probably don't know what executables they have.
And I don't know how to find out. I don't really want to ask them
in the installation process.

It seems there is no good solution. Should I just let them
install them? They probably don't know how. I don't really want
to find out how to install executables in Windows. I guess it
means putting them on the desktop somewhere.

Perhaps I'll say, you've got to know a little about perl if you
want to use this stuff.
