in reply to How to install a DarkPAN module?

See the bit:

[MSG] No '$HOME/.cpanplus/custom-sources' dir, skipping custom sources

That's a clue! You probably want to read CPANPLUS and custom_sources, which will explain things far better than I ever could. Executive summary: you place your tarball in a directory or on the web somewhere, and then tell CPANPLUS where it is.

    Good suggestion, thanks. I'm going with Corion's answer, as I can rely on CPAN more than CPANPLUS.

    Just to expand slightly on this, CPANPLUS will also accept file:// type URLs as well.

    cpanp -i file://./My-Module-0.01.tar.gz
