It doesn't make any kind of sense to try to install everything on cpan, unless you are contributing to cpantesters, which you can't be using the no test option. Installing hundreds if not thousands of modules on a system that is by any definition modern in terms of hardware will not take months. ACH::Generator hasn't had a release since 2006. You could be spending time building modules which no longer work with modern perls, or libraries upon which they depend. Look at the cpan options, you can upgrade modules that.you already have easy. Modern alternative such as cpanm are faster than cpan at straight installs, but do not replicate all features such as bundle support. cpm is much faster than cpanm, I've not tried it on Windows yet. Are you really making use of 37,000 modules? Sire a local mirror helps, perhaps you should only install modules when you find you don't have them installed, this seems like a better use of your time.
