Moving to a new machine

[Sandman]

So I've ben using Perl for a couple of years on machine A, now I've bought
machine B which comes with a newer version of perl. I don't think there is a
compatibility issue, but I do know that I've downnloaded and installed several
modules from cpan on machine A, but I can't remember each one specifically.

Is there a easy way to migrate user-installed perl modules to a new
installation?

Thanks for any help!

Basically you use CPAN, or CPANPLUS, to make a bundle of your old
installation, take the bundle to the new machine and install it there.
It's a simple process, see the docs.

Have a look at CPAN.pm's "autobundle" command.

Ok, thanks. I'll do that!
