Thanks a lot. thats what i need. I swear i checked the
cpan faq :). I had tried bundling with cpanplus but
when i went to install it couldn't find the bundle.
The faq showed me how to deal with that.  I'm gonna
give it a try. I wonder how cpan will deal with
modules i've already installed like modperl or vendor
perl modules?   We'll see.

thanks
