Thank you SO much - that's the solution I needed! I did see "cpan ." in
the man CPAN page but it immediately talks about downloading dependencies
so I'd skipped it thinking it was little different than regular cpan use.
I came up with this for my current simple needs of a handful of packages,
with no dependencies I don't already have installed, all are .tar.gz, and
I only need installs, not upgrades:
for MOD_ARCHIVE in *.tar.gz
do
ARCH_CONTENT=`tar -xzvf $MOD_ARCHIVE 2> /dev/null`
[ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "ERROR: Could not extract $MOD_ARCHIVE,
skipping." && continue
ARCH_DIR=`echo "$ARCH_CONTENT" | head -1 | sed -r 's_^([^/]+)/.*_\1_'`
[ $? -ne 0 -o "$ARCH_DIR" == "" ] && echo "ERROR: Could not determine
archive dir for $MOD_ARCHIVE, skipping." && continue
pushd $ARCH_DIR &> /dev/null
MOD_NAME=`grep -hP "^[ \t]+'*NAME'*[ \t]*=>" * 2> /dev/null | sed -r
"s/.*NAME.*[^']+'([^']+)'.*/\1/" | sed -r
"s/.*NAME.*.*q\[([^]]+)\].*/\1/"`
[ $? -ne 0 -o "$MOD_NAME" == "" ] && echo "ERROR: Could not determine
module name for $MOD_ARCHIVE, skipping." && popd &> /dev/null && continue
CHECK_CMD="use $MOD_NAME; exit 0;"
perl -e '$CHECK_CMD' &> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Already installed: $MOD_NAME"
else
echo "Installing: $MOD_NAME from $MOD_ARCHIVE ..."
nice cpan . >> ../cpan-stdout.log 2>>../cpan-stderr.log
[ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "ERROR: 'cpan .' returned error doing
$MOD_NAME, see *.log."
fi
popd &> /dev/null
done
