Thanks for all the feedback. I want be clear that the "cpan" or "cpanplus" shouldn't be required tools for an end user to have, in part because they shouldn't need to use or understand a shell.

If tools like they are involved at all, they should come into play as part of the web-based configuration step. There the software can ask permission, and then install extra modules under the covers.

    Sure, if that's how you want things to go. Just embed a webserver and let it do its thang.

    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
