CPAN-OUTDATED(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPAN-OUTDATED(1)

cpan-outdated - detect outdated CPAN modules in your environment

    # print the list of distribution that contains outdated modules
    % cpan-outdated

    # print the list of outdated modules in packages
    % cpan-outdated -p

    # verbose
    % cpan-outdated --verbose

    # alternate mirrors
    % cpan-outdated --mirror file:///home/user/minicpan/

    # additional module path(same as cpanminus)
    % cpan-outdated -l extlib/
    % cpan-outdated -L extlib/

    # install with cpan
    % cpan-outdated | xargs cpan -i

    # install with cpanm
    % cpan-outdated    | cpanm
    % cpan-outdated -p | cpanm

This script prints the list of outdated CPAN modules in your machine.

It's same feature of 'CPAN::Shell->r', but "cpan-outdated" is much faster and uses less memory.

This script can be integrated with cpanm command.

This script by default prints the outdated distribution as in the CPAN distro format, i.e: "A/AU/AUTHOR/Distribution-Name-0.10.tar.gz" so you can pipe into CPAN installers, but with "-p" option it can be twaked to print the module's package names.

For some tools such as cpanm installing from packages could be a bit more useful since you can track to see the old version number where you upgrade from.
