 Howdy -

How can I use CPAN.pm or CPAN::Shell (or similar) to install modules and
their dependencies on a system, without ever going out to the net? I
will have all necessary modulewhatever.tar.gz files available on the
system. How can I point CPAN to these directories?

thanx in advance for any help!
- Steve

 Oh, to clarify further, I want to use CPAN or something similar because
of all the wonderful 'extra' stuff it gives beyond just make;make
test;make install.

Thanx Sherman! Setting the urllist to file://whatever... did the trick.
