Yup.
And it's core in 5.10 and can be made a dependency for new releases of
CPAN.pm and CPANPLUS. Anyone using old versions of CPAN.pm - well,
they'll be no worse off than they are now. The only possible problem is
that one of its pre-reqs isn't pure perl - but that's a compression
library thing, so could be made into an optional pre-req, falling back
to the local gzip if necessary.

I remember when computers were frustrating because they did
exactly what you told them to. That seems kinda quaint now.
