I'd restrict it to only those modules that are needed to install stuff:
CPAN.pm
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Module::Build
CPANPLUS
Module::Install isn't on the list, because it gets bundled with modules
that use it, and it should be up to those modules to Do The Right Thing.
I'm disinclined to include things like Archive::Tar and
ExtUtils::CBuilder, but could be persuaded.
