An alternative method to using upgrade from the default CPAN shell is to use cpanminus and cpan-outdated   These are so easy and nimble to use that I hardly ever go back to CPAN shell  To upgrade all of your modules in one go  the command is   cpan-outdated -p   cpanm   I recommend you install cpanminus like the docs describe   curl -L https   cpanmin us   perl - App  cpanminus   And then install cpan-outdated along with all other CPAN modules using cpanm   cpanm App  cpanoutdated   BTW  If you are using perlbrew then you will need to repeat this for every Perl you have installed under it   You can find out more about cpanminus and cpan-outdated at the Github repos here    https   github com miyagawa cpanminus https   github com tokuhirom cpan-outdated
