Basically, it's the next generation cpan client. Most of the really big advantages are if you decide to script it: It has a _much_ better, and more flexible, API. It's also cleaned up some of the cruft that's migrated into cpan over the years, and organized it a bit better. As of perl 5.10 it is standard with perl, and the old cpan module/client has been depreciated. The plan is to remove the old client altogether. So, the biggest advantage at the moment is that you won't have to set up a new client in a couple of years when cpan gets removed from the perl core. ;) Daniel T.
