	It's not possible to download them as installed code, because
there are many XS modules in the dependency chain which must be
compiled for your specific version of Perl and processor type.

	It *would* be possible to provide all of the .tar.gz files from
CPAN.

	Yes, this is a very common situation and we will probably
enhance install-module.pl in the future to deal with it.
