your reimplementing CPANTS :-) (which is OK for me, because I currently don't have much time for CPANTS (or fun while working on it) anyways...)
A lot of what you describe sounds quite familiar to how CPANTS works. Using PPI is something I wanted to do for a long time, but never did, because I figured it would be too time consuming etc. But now that you're doing it: Would you consider making the PPI document dumps available somewhere? (if it's possible to reuse your dumps on another OS..). I could not only need this for CPANTS, but also for this little project [useperl.at].

The document cache is damned large, probably too large to reasonably ship around on anything smaller than a portable hard drive.
Storable'd PPI documents are also version specific, so you don't really want that anyway.
But if I load them up, serialize to raw perl, and then build a LZMA-compressed tarball, I think I can get about 100 to 1 compression and it will fit into around 50 meg.
