Thank you!

autobundle seems to be a great solution to this problem.

BUT....

It is in package\sformat format:

ACH::Generator 0.01

And looking through the docs, there are no options to update to the latest version!

(Mind you there are 37000 packages in that bundle)

so 

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Snapshot_2017_11_30_00'

[download]
Might take months without a 'notest install'.

Will CPAN automagically choose the 'right' version for the Strawberry release?

Now... I do have a CPAN mirror from my Linux drive which is accessible in Win, and can hopefully speed up the process some. Any quick links to using a local mirror? File//path in the config file?

There is another way, but a bit more tedious. I can take the automirror file, split on \s and just have the package names per line.

Once upon a time there was a command for retrieving a list of modules that were NOT installed compared to the 'full' CPAN list.

If I run uniq against the two lists, it can save alot of time by not trying to install modules already installed.
