A bundle is good, but when producing a bundle, keep in mind a couple of
points:
* until 5.12 and its re-ordered @INC is out, modules distributed with
the core can't be superseded by newer versions without overwriting the
files, which is a big problem if you're installing the whole bundle as
a single rpm (for example)
* more modules mean that you'll probably loose some platforms or
configurations, which is OK if you're bundling for a specific family
of OS or architecture
