Not sure that's a good idea, since "cpan String::ShellQuote" will
fetch files from the internet (are there other post-installs that do
this?). Also, if cpan has never been used before, it will go into
a lengthy configuration dialog to set up CPAN::Config.
It would be better to include with your package a git-core-config
script and document that it needs to be run before using git-core.
