I have to agree with Daniel on this one. While it's annoying to build Solaris (in my case) packages for every CPAN package you want to install, then end result is that I can control the installed version *precisely*. While it may never have been a problem for you, I've been bitten more than once by CPAN upgrades that break my software, so "old" systems work while new systems don't.
