install [

arglist

Installs the arguments specified in arglist , which can be modules or distributions. Implies test . For a distribution, install is run unconditionally. For a module, CPAN.pm checks to see if the module is up-to-date, and if so, prints a message to that effect and does not do the install. Otherwise, it finds and processes the distribution that contains the module.
