I've written a small script to help assist in tracking module versions of installed modules. It requires the CPAN.pm module >= v1.59 and the Storable.pm module to aid in persistence (such as when you don't want to dump the results to a file, just re-run the same results for viewing in more/less while you update modules via the cpan shell. you can grab it from http://www.webdragon.net/ under the modulreport link. it's basically a slight variation on the theme, here, with a little control structure wrapped around it.
