Is there a way to update installed modules? Cpan only seems to offer
checking for updates and then manually reinstalling.

perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install(CPAN::Shell->r)'

Thanks - it did the trick. Is there a 'flag' I can use to accept all the
default 'yesess and nos'? I had a lot of moldules that needed updating
and I had to keep checking to see if a response was required from me.

There's inactivity_timeout, although this cancels installation if it's waiting
for input, so that's not really what you want.

I can't remember off the top of my head whether it accepts defaults, cancels,
or hangs when the process doesn't have a terminal, e.g. it's being run under
cron.
