[DCPM] autobundle gotchas?

[Simon Waters]

Looking to bring a server into line with a test server in terms of 
modules and versions.

This server had a rather mangled version of CPAN, which is now upgraded 
to something shiny and new, so it now says a lot of modules could be 
upgraded.

Having tried autobundle on a few test package, between two test 
machines, it seems to do mostly sensible things.

Since the test box is shiny and relatively up to date as far as Perl 
modules go I think this should be straight forward. But I'm open to 
being told of the dark side of autobundle before I try it.

Why isn't autobundle the "FAQ" answer for finding locally installed 
modules instead of the apparently near useless "perldoc perllocal" or is 
the frequently asked question the wrong question? perllocal is great for 
saying what happened, but useless from an administration perspective 
when you go from a few modules to hundred or thousands when you need to 
automate these things.

Any tips on minmising the noise from questions appreciated as well...

  Simon still messing with pre-5.10 stuff.
