> > (7) A command line tool to download and install CPAN modules:

I like godi_console (despite laking fancy colors :-), although I'd
like a simpler command line tool to be available as well.

In case you don't know it, you can install packages on command-line very easily :

godi_perform -build godi-extlib

There's a more elaborated way using wish lists, which I personnaly never use (but that may be wrong).
