Jay the document looks good... except for this part:

  You don't explain why you installed those things from CPAN instead of 
just apt-get'ing them...

- Why install from CPAN?

Two cpan calls are straight forward:
  HTTP::Date        libwww-perl
  Time::HiRes       libtime-hires-perl

I'm not sure exactly what makes up the bundle statements, but I'm
certain that the contents are available as debian packages... 

  Bundle::libnet      libnet-perl?
  Bundle::DBI         libdbd-mysql-perl?
  Bundle::Apache      some things from `apt-cache search libapache perl`
