Ah, I didn't realize CPAN modules could work that way. I don't know
much about them at all. Depending on InterchangeBundle instead of the
individual modules still sounds like adding an unnecessary layer
though.

I definitely agree that Interchange::Bundle needs an ebuild. I should
be able to put one of those together a lot more quickly. It'll be a
good warm up.
