:Whatever approach we take, two major problems must be solved to

:    The way ActiveState's rpm handles it (by patching the binaries and

:    installation.
: 2: Add-on modules (base-perl and site-perl) must be able to fit
:    themselves into an existing perl installation so they can be
:    distributed in prebuilt form.

:In short, we need componentized, prebuilt distributions.

:Is this being worked on already?
