If you mean that you do that manually, you don’t have to.  The “look” command 
in the cpan shell or the --look option to cpanm does that automatically.  

That is, it unpacks the module and drops you into a sub-shell where you can 
work with the module manually.

Back when I still had to support CentOS 5, I’d occasionally have to do this to 
get some modules to build because they required local edits or configuration 
overrides that the upstream developers didn’t want to support, its Perl being 
deemed too old to bother with any more.
