I big bonus for this is the fact that you can keep your application/framework working with specified versions (versions you know work well together) of perl modules/libs, as opposed to installs via the cpan shell where you might have varying module level differences for your development group (and therefore possibly different functionality and behavior). What starts stable, stays stable. Each person specifies personal lib path to put the applications libs (thus keeping the system wide libs free of application specific libs).

I am on the matchstick list. I want to start digging a bit to get into the nitty gritty of things. CPF
