Currently you'd need to write a few lines of code to get at the list, like, say: % perl -e ' use CPAN; for $m (CPAN::Shell->expand("Module","/./")){ next unless $m->dslip_status->{S} eq "a"; print $m->id, "\n"; } ' CPAN: Term::ANSIColor loaded ok (v1.10) CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.15) Going to read /home/sand/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:03:24 GMT CPAN: YAML::Syck loaded ok (v0.71) Going to read /home/sand/.cpan/build/ ............................................................................DONE Found 320 old builds, restored the state of none Agent Algorithm::ScheduledPath Apache::Sandwich Be::Query Business::OnlinePayment::InternetSecure Crypt::RC6 Crypt::Serpent Lingua::EL::Poly2Mono Math::Brent Module::MakefilePL::Parse Mozilla::Backup Parallel::Performing R3 Tamino WWW::BF2Player WWW::BF2S WWW::GameMonitor Win32::Share > That's what I meant about you changing pause, much like you > did for 06.perms.
