CAVEATS
This is a proto-type release. Use with caution and supervision.
The current version has a very primitive interface and limited
functionality. Future versions may have a lot of options.
There is always a risk associated with automatically downloading and
testing code from CPAN, which could turn out to be malicious or severely
buggy. Do not run this on a critical machine.
This module uses the backend of CPANPLUS to do most of the work, so is
subject to any bugs of CPANPLUS.
