If you wish to have a portable, off-line CPAN mirror, or wish to maintain the state of CPAN exactly as it was at a particular date, then ``CPAN::Mini'' is the way to go:
cpanmini -l ~/local-cpan \
-r http://search.cpan.org/CPAN
We can even use this with ``cpanm'':
cpanm --mirror ~/local-cpan --mirror-only Test::Most
``cpanmini'' only includes the most recent versions of the CPAN modules
(rather than their whole history) and as a consequence is only a few
Gigabytes big.
