Nice! I like it.

nit: Looking at this as a naive user, it's not obvious what kind of
fallbacks are meant. How about:
Define NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS if you do not want to install bundled
copies of CPAN modules that serve as a fallback in case the modules are
not available on the system.
Or perhaps:
Define HAVE_CPAN_MODULES if you have Error.pm and Mail::Address installed
and do not want to install the fallback copies from perl/FromCPAN.
Would this patch need to update the loader to expect the modules in
the new location?
Thanks,
Jonathan
