I don't think my statement is overblown...
True, not the gist of it.
I was specifically thinking of the "downfall of Perl" part,
which I think overstates the case a little.
Perl will continue to survive and prosper
and enable all sorts of great coding
even if its installation/module model stays exactly the same.
If the model doesn't evolve, though,
Perl-based software will remain largely of, by, and for programmers,
and remain cut off from a lot of users
who could benefit from it (IMHO).
Whether that's a direction Perl "should" take, though,
given the impact it would have on the community and ethos,
I'm not informed enough to say.
