Here's how you get all of CPAN to carry around with you.

Check out merlyn's minicpan script. In that script, set the $LOCAL variable to a directory of your choice, and the $REMOTE to a CPAN server near you. Run that script on a machine with internet access. Burn the directory to a CD (or copy it to a USB stick).

On the target machine, mount the medium. Run cpan and set the first item in urllist to the directory containing the CPAN archive (e.g. /mnt/cdrom/MINICPAN): 

$ cpan

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.xxxx)

cpan> o conf urllist unshift file:///mnt/cdrom/MINICPAN

cpan> o conf commit
commit: wrote /home/user/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm

cpan>

Voilà. You are ready to install any CPAN Module from your removable device.

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
