I'd like to remove non-modified, non-parrot Perl modules from lib and
install them via CPAN.pm. I have a version here which works, but I
remember from experience it can be tricky to set up CPAN.pm to work
behind firewalls, so I'm wondering what collective wisdom has to say.
Should we run CPAN.pm from Configure.pl or rely on "prominent notes"?
