In theory, yes, however, I'm using Debian, so then you'd have to make the 
Debian package use the right things, which might not be a bad idea, however, 
what about those using this on Slackware, or Solaris, etc.

If there are several perl modules needed, this just makes it a little easier 
to accomplish this portion of the installation.

In reality, it's probably no big deal either way, since you can install each 
package individually.  Though, for documentation purposes, I think it's easier 
to write:

	Make sure you've installed all required perl modules by running
	the following command (you may need to be root):

		perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::GnuCash"

versus:

	Make sure you've installed all required perl modules.  You'll need
	the following packages:

		module1
		module2
		.
		.
		.

Just my $.02:)
