time consuming to get right modules by handby g00n (Hermit) |

Create a local directory on your machine and save the CPAN files (which should be available in an archive format) on your hard drive or locker space or whatever is the easiest.
ohh, this is a horrible way to do things. I know I've done this and would not recommend it. Why? CPAN modules are built much like LEGO. A lot of the image modules may be built upon other modules. So you require all the parent modules of the module you choose. I had to use this method (no net connection) to download, install a complex system using many CPAN modules. Downloading and installing by hand is bad, frustrating and slow.
What system are you using? (Windows? - Can you install Cygwin?) or Do you have access to a laptop with net access so you can install the CPAN modules. Using CPAN to download modules is good.
ls AUTHORNAME get AUTHORNAME/CPAN_MODULENAME At least you can use the systems side by side with the possibility of transferring working code from the laptop to target machine.
