Joel,

Thank you for that! I was just wondering what the best follow-up was to
keep the ball rolling :)

So, what's the best follow-up to keep the ball rolling?

I don't think anyone is disagreeing that some action would be welcome here.
In other words, having the perl core support something around package
*and* application
management.

Is there general agreement that something should be in core for this?

I *think* we might be at the point where a pre-PPC is warranted, unless
this thread is considered to be one and a PPC is asked for instead.

For related prior art in Perl, we have a number of things to look at. This
list is thrown together quickly, so my apologies if I've missed something.
