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.
See http://www.twoshortplanks.com/simon/perl/cpanscore.html for horrid
02package.details munging.
