in reply to What modules got installed?

I found some useful methods in Logging the CPAN Shell by carol.

marto and quester suggested something like this: 

>script -c 'TERM=dumb cpan' -a /root/Desktop/cpan.log
cpan> install Module
cpan>exit

[download]
planetscape suggested something like this: 
cpan> install Module > /root/Desktop/cpan.log
cpan>q

[download]
It prints to log not STDOUT.

    I had never heard of script, thanks. I don't really need to monitor input, so tee would be just as good.

    The whole shell redirect inside of cpan is novel too. install Foo | tee out allows you to see what's going on.
