Andy (Armstrong), aside from the fact that we now know that it fails miserably on VMS, do you know of any show stoppers or potential embarrassments? (The only reason I mention "potential embarrassments" is that CPANPLUS and Module::Build have left such a bad taste in many people's mouths that I would like to limit the impact of the first alpha.
