Re: automated install of modules from local directory

Your other alternative is to do some sourcediving into CPAN/CPANPLUS to see what they do (one thing they do is watch STDERR for specifically formatted error messages).

You could also check to see if META.yml exists, ie

use YAML;
use LWP::Simple;
my $yaml = get 'http://search.cpan.org/src/LBROCARD/Module-CPANTS-0.20030725/META.yml';
...

update: Module::ExtractUse
