Re: Use CPAN or CPAN::Shell for LOCAL ONLY install from tarballs?

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?

When you configure it, you're not restricted to the download URLs that
are listed. You can enter your own custom URL - just point it to a local
CPAN mirror that you maintain for yourself. If you don't want to bother
with an FTP or HTTP server, CPAN can handle a file: URL just as easily.
