FWIW, the use of

perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Text::ParseWords"'
[download]

is more of a canonical tradition for CPAN documentation. In realtime, everyday life, I never use it and never have:). In addition, Text::ParseWords is a core, dual-lived module that has been core since the first release of perl5. You could update it individually, or you could update it collectively by running:

cpan Task::DualLived
[download]

All of the dual-lived modules will be updated for you.
