Well that's the point, I'm not building them to try and use all of them, I'm conducting research into some things, and it involves installing every module on CPAN that will install on the build system. Again, I realize there will be a number of modules that won't build, due to OS constraints, wrong CPU architectures, old crappy code that hasn't been touched since 1998, whatever. I'm OK with all that :) I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't divulge too much more, but I already have my local CPAN mirror up, forked MetaCPAN on Github and formulated my evil plan to take over the world.. err umm test installing CPAN modules on steroids.. :-P. I want to benchmark build times, and a lot more. All y'all have been most excellent (as always) with the suggestions. I'll report and reveal more as I go.
