Wow, you'll need a lot of disk space for your perl distro, then. And
lots of patience before it's all over.

Anyway, instead of *installing* it all, you could start by getting the
most recent versions off CPAN and have your own CPAN mirror, on CD for
example. Search for mini-CPAN.

That way, you can always (connected to the internet, or not) and likely
more quickly, install any module you want.
