in reply to How can I programmatically install a module from file.

Can I use the CPAN module to achieve that ? or do I need to do 'tar xzf - ; cd - ; perl Makefile.PL ; make ; make test ; make install ; cd .. ' within an horrible shell command ?

At the very worst you can conjure up a quick shell or perl script to do that for every module:

$ for m in *.tar.gs; do what; I; want; to $m; done
