It is easy to improperly package CPAN modules but at the same time CPAN 
modules are standardized enough so that they can follow a certain 
formula.  Automatic packaging of CPAN can be fine for most users if they 
need a certain module and a package does not already exist, but before 
that module is included in any repository it should be manually cleaned 
up, described properly and tested.
