I'm not *sure* (haven't thought massively about the implications either way)
of installing the modules, if the perl they're being installed against doesn't
have MAD enabled. On the one hand, their presence might give an erroneous
impression that the general functionality should work, when actually it
doesn't. On the other hand, the modules still work, and can usefully process
output XML files, independent of whether the perl running them can generate it.
