in reply to Installing (lotsa) modules

I can't complete my answer at the moment, but maybe some nice
PM knows to finish it...
At my homelibrary (at which I am currently *not*) I have
a book from O'Reilly about perlmodules, which has a cdrom
including a snapshot of the cpan server and a to-be-modified
script to install *all* modules from the cdrom.
Unfortunately I can't look up the title, now, but, if none
completes this, I will as soon as I get home.

    So, as I have promised to tell about the O'Reilly book with
    the cdrom included, to install all of the modules that
    are in the cpan snapshot included there for offline install,
    here it is:

    I am located at germany, so I tell you the original information
    first, then I will translate the stuff:

    "Programmieren mit Perl Modulen" von Nate Patwardhan & Clay
    Irwing, ISBN 3-89721-108-4
    and as you might guess ;-)
    "Programming with Perl Modules" by Nate Patwardhan & Clay Irwing
    ...the ISBN seems not to be international, and I don't know how
    to convert it, so I present you a link right here:
    O'Reilly
    and if the book is still available, I don't know.
    But if you are willing to follow that, you will be lucky when
    keep on searching :-)

    One thing that came into my mind, when I kept on thinking about
    not to forget my promise: There are a lot of internet related
    modules, which might won't install, if your box is so firewalled.
    BTW: I never tried out the script, so, if you try it out, I'd
    appreciate a comment about it.
