Get a list of new module releases and either 1. without having updated your 0\d-{whatever}.txt.gz since the last time you ran the script check to see if the module's in that. If it's not then it's new. 2. Foreach module go to the authors directory on $CPAN_MIRROR and then check to see if there are previosu versions. There may be easier ways.
