Subject: allow blacklisting distributions
there are certain trouble distributions that can cause major problems that are hard to track down. one example is XML-SAX-Base. the problem it causes is nicely described here: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl4lib/2011/05/msg2906.html since many users are affected by this and nobody has rectified the situation on cpan, it would seem reasonable to allow users to blacklist the distribution at the level of the installation tool.
