install without asking first.

Use the -S option to disable sudo during "make install".

If the module is up to date, you can use the -r option to reinstall.

If the tests aren't passing and you want to install anyway, use the
-T option.

Use the -d option to only install the dependencies, not the module
itself.

Use the -l option to open a shell in the module's directory and
then you can look around.

Use the -p option to open perldoc for the module.

The -f option can be used to display what files will be installed.
Use along with the -I, -L, -LL, -B, -SC, -M1, -M3 or the PERL_MM_OPT or
PERL_MB_OPT environment variables, to make sure you set the right
settings before you install.

You can uninstall the module with -u. It will show you what files
will be removed before actually removing them.

Set the CPAN mirror with the -m option. By default it uses
http://www.cpan.org.

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.

If you don't want to install this module, you can use the existing cpan program to see what will actually be installed. Run "cpan" on the command line to enter its shell. Run "test Module", it will test the module and all it's dependencies, then run ...
