I hate to pick, but not every unix machine already has an unzip utility installed, which causes this module to fail installation. This is very common for me now since a lot of my clients are using clean 'jeos' (just enough operating system) images for cloud systems like ec2 and most of this don't seem to come with any sort of unzip. Then when the application I give them fails to install I get "Hmm, we never had this trouble installing our PHP application". Given that *.tar.gz is in use for nearly every other distribution I have ever used on cpan, is there any chance we can release a version of this using that format. It's a small thing I know, but it messes me up a lot lately. This module is in the dependency chain for Catalyst, which I am installing frequently and I run into this problem often. Thanks!
