Find the best CPAN mirror by running the command with -M. It will
ping all CPAN mirrors and show you the 10 servers with the best
time and let you choose which one you want.

Modules are cached and reused between calls, so you can look at the contents of the module in a shell, then get info about the install, then install the module and the module only downloads from cpan once. The cache is stored in ~/.cpanx.

This script has no dependencies. It uses the curl program to download.

This script is self contained. It's runnable if all you have is the one file.
