Too complicated (Score:2)
I don't think README files are necessary any more, now that we have search.cpan.org. It's always out of sync with the main module documentation anyway, so move everything there instead.
Likewise, INSTALL is silly. Everyone knows how to install a simple Perl module thesedays, and if it's tricky, then put more magic code in your Makefile.PL ;-)

Woohoo! Somebody agrees! :)

Exactly my point. I know, and I'm tired of reading it where a description of the module should be. I personally wouldn't be affected at all if there were no installation instructions with the module.
Been thinking about trying out Gentoo. It seems to provide all the benefits of LFS and Debian, and I hear it will work on my iBook!
