`install AUTHOR/Module-Name-0.34.tar.gz` The `ls AUTHOR` command shows you all modules (including version numbers) from this author.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

For example: `$ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5. +810.tar.gz` [download] (there's a "Other Releases" drop-down box on the module's page on `search.cpan.org`)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
