Irritating, ain't it? Same confusion bit me some time back. Wading 
through the 716 items found by running

	cpan> i /template/

is the following:

	Module    Template    (A/AB/ABW/Template-Toolkit-2.14.tar.gz)

Sigh. So

	cpan> install Template

installs the whole wad, giving you a ton of options along with many 
hundreds of files. Why isn't there at least some sort of placeholder 
under "Template::Toolkit"? Beats me.
