minipan - a minimalistic CPAN module installer
$ minipan Some::Module # or 'Some/Module.pm' for easy copy'n'paste # from an missing module error message
MiniPan is a try to write a minimalistic replacement for the 'cpan' command line tool mainly for the iPhone as limited resources make it impossible to use it on that platform (cpan tries to load the whole package list into the memory, even with CPAN::SQLite installed...
Currently only installation of a single module and its dependencis is supported. No optional dependency modules will be installed at the moment though.
