for example when i do

cpan> b

How do I make them both up2date? I've noticed too that when i do

cpan> autobundle
[download]

not all bundles are listed. So how to update this

Furthermore is it possible to update perl from lets say from perl v5.8.2 to perl5.8.5 via CPAN

And my last question what does

cpan> make install
[download]

do ?? Luca
