DESCRIPTION
This script prints the list of outdated CPAN modules in your machine.
It's same feature of 'CPAN::Shell->r', but "cpan-outdated" is much
faster and uses less memory.
This script can be integrated with cpanm command.
PRINTING PACKAGES VS DISTRIBUTIONS
This script by default prints the outdated distribution as in the CPAN
distro format, i.e: "A/AU/AUTHOR/Distribution-Name-0.10.tar.gz" so you
can pipe into CPAN installers, but with "-p" option it can be twaked to
print the module's package names.
For some tools such as cpanm installing from packages could be a bit
more useful since you can track to see the old version number where you
upgrade from.
