Yeah, I''m currently using a ugly "define" hack with cpanm.
Problem is
that there the indexing problem and a lot of missing features which a l
ot of people use. I wrote a wrapper around CPAN.pm which does
most of the things I want.

I''m doing this for two reasons,
1) I need it(but cpanm would suffice but it''s not clean)
2) I''d like to learn more about puppet internals, also I''ll
probably get
   straight to writing a easy_install module after this.
