G'day everyone

Context: ActiveState Perl Developers Kit, Windows XP.

With CPAN changing so often, has anyone come up with a batch/automated
mechanism to check if dependent modules have changed and then flag the
developer and/or download the updates and recompile?

With Devel::Modlist I can get a list of the modules used, e.g.
perl -d:Modlist=cpan,nocore BOSS.ctrl
which gives me
ActivePerl::Config
ActiveState::Path 1.00
AutoLoader 5.66
C:::Perl::site::lib::sitecustomize.pl
Carp 1.08
Config
Config_heavy.pl
Cwd 3.2701
Data::Trie
Exporter 5.62
Lisp::Cons
Tree::Nary 1.3
Win32::OLE 0.1709
Win32::OLE::Lite
XSLoader 0.08
constant 1.15

Similarly
cpan -O
gives
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
Going to read C:\Perl\cpan\Metadata

Module Name Local CPAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
DBD::Multiplex 2.0600 2.0700
DBD::SQLite 1.1300 1.1400
Digest::SHA 5.4600 5.4700
IPA 1.0500 1.0600
Log::Log4perl 1.1500 1.1600
Module::Pluggable 3.7000 3.8000
Regexp::Common 2.1200 2.1220
Regexp::Common::SEN 2.1020 2.1040
Regexp::Common::URI 2.1080 2.1100
--- cut for brevity's sake ---

I can see where I can go with this, and could come up with something
useful, but I'd rather not reinvent the toasted cheese sandwich.

Kind regards,
Bruce.
