What I was grumbling about was complicated solutions to simple problems.
"Solutions" shouldn't be more complicated than the problem they set out to
solve.

I didn't mean a particular criticism of MetaCpan's process; it seems quite
normal by today's standards.

Adding a program used to be a simple matter of putting a file in an
appropriate directory. Now, it's unpack a tarball, initiate an install,
hope that it uses compatible libraries, has no unfulfilled dependencies,
and doesn't do anything ugly to the existing directory hierarchy.
