Upgrade CPAN

SMosher · 12-08-2011, 01:12 PM

An alternative method to using upgrade from the default CPAN shell is to use cpanminus and cpan-outdated.
These are so easy & nimble to use that I hardly ever go back to CPAN shell. To upgrade all your modules in one go is:
cpan-outdated | xargs cpanm

I recommend you install cpanminus like the docs describe:
curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
And then install cpan-outdated along with all other CPAN modules using cpanm:
cpanm App::cpanoutdated
BTW: If you are using perlbrew then you will need to repeat this for every Perl you have installed under it.
