I don't know about that,  getting the correct version of perl, mod_perl.
apache and all the preconfigured modules together and configuring cpan... as
apposed to installing DBD::Postgres(uses XS), hell I could stick gcc
postgres and open ldap in the package.  krap I just gave my self more work.
Here is the list so far:
apache
postgres
openldap
perl
mod_perl
libnet
configure CPAN
DBI
DBD::CSV
DBD:Pg
BerkleyDB 3.x (openLDAP), this could cause a problem 2.x in in some linuxs
glibc, I think
berkelyDB perl module
GCC
gmake

This gives you a nice base system and everything you need to add stuff to
it.

Now I have 2 questions for the list:
1: is this a good idea or a waste of my time
2: did I forget anything

Newer versions of CPAN resolve dependencies for you, and you can always
make a Bundle:: for your project.
