    This option is relative new ? At least cpan shell v1.7602 does not know about it.

But anyway. I think this will print ALL modules which needs to be updated and not the ones which are in my local homedir ? (Couldn't test it yet.)

      It will do what it says it will do, print you a list, which you can iterate over, then filter by location 
      $ perl -MCGI -le " print for grep /CGI.pm/, values %INC"
C:/perl/5.12.2/lib/CGI.pm

$ perldoc -l CGI
C:\perl\5.12.2\lib\CGI.pm

        It works for root Modules but if you have something like that it will not work.

        perl -MYAML::Base -le " print for grep /YAML::Base.pm/, values %INC"

        Thanks, my problem is now that i have trouble with upgrading the CPAN Bundle but that is a different story then.
