Is that so under Solaris? this is new to me, i mostly use the 
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install module::name

    CPANPLUS is much nicer about this, and won't try to upgrade your core Perl distribution on you.

    Also, there's an easier way to do what you're doing in two step (and you can automate it, modulo any modules failing their tests):

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Acme::Toaster"'
