Re^3: All CPAN Modules

[Khen1950fx]

Rather than trying to install everything, it's better to break your list down into manageable chunks. For example to install all modules beginning with "A":

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CPAN;

print $_->install()
foreach CPAN::Shell->expand("Module", "/^A/");

I usually break it down even further. For example, all modules starting with "Aa", "Ab", etc.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CPAN;

print $_->install()
    foreach CPAN::Shell->expand("Module", "/^Aa/");

print $_->install()
    foreach CPAN::Shell->expand("Module", "/^Ab/");

And for an entire namespace, say Catalyst:

print $_->install()
    foreach CPAN::Shell->expand("Module", "/^Catalyst/");

Very nice!! Thanks these ideas will work very nicely.
