To amplify that: Maypole requires about twenty modules directly, which between
them require between fifty to a hundred packages. At least. Trying to install
them all manually and keep track of the dependencies *will* drive you mad.
Automate it with CPAN or CPANPLUS, or the ports system for *BSD. Or else we'll
see you in 2005, because you might have satisfied all the dependencies by hand
by then.
