install
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.
