First, let me apologize. I'm almost positive this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it.

I have a number of modules I've written. I've got to install my modules on several machines. The modules have a few non-standard prerequisites. So, every time I install my module on a new machine, I have make a list of the prereqs, fire up CPAN and install the prereqs, and then manually install my modules.

Is there a way I can either install my custom module and the prereqs in one command ala:

frob pileofrogs-v0.0.1.tar.gz

[download]

Or use cpan to install my modules and the prereqs as though my modules were on CPAN?

perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::install pileofrogs"

[download]

CPAN::Site looks like it does what I want, but it has this warning:

This is not even alpha software and will be made obsolete
by CPAN.pm extensions/plugins some day.

[download]

So is CPAN::Site actually OK despite that warning, or is there something better to solve my problem?

Thanks!

Update: Success! See CPAN::Mini::Inject Discoveries.
