INSPIRATION

As long as we're talking platitudes, why don't we just say you never have to upgrade! In fact, you never even have to install the software, magic ponies inside your computer will just know when you need it and go get it for you. [1] Also everyone gets a million dollars and a pet dragon. [1] I anticipate the Acme::Magic::Pony auto-installer on CPAN by Monday.

TODO
Acme::Magic::Pony doesn't offer to upgrade modules that aren't at the most recent version. Maybe it's not so magic after all!
NOTE
This might be vaguely useful when writing new code on a system that doesn't have modules you're used to using. It'll fire up CPAN for you and install things as you go. But heaven forbid you leave "use Acme::Magic::Pony" around in your code, it will be more or less guaranteed to cause anyone who runs across your code no end of headaches.
I'm sure this module could be vastly improved. Please file bugs and/or send me email directly. In particular, I'm not sure what a good testing strategy is - I suppose I could attempt to identify some module that the user doesn't have, and see that Acme::Magic::Pony installs it and that it can then be used, but that seems rather intrusive and risky. Ideas?
Module Install Instructions
