Of whatever you want to install. It analyses (does it?) a source file,
and tells you what modules you don't have. But instead of downloading
them itself, it tells you what to download.

When you downloaded them, you restart CPAN.pm, but now you tell it "got
them!" and point to them.

Great! Now, I "only" have 40Mb on my Mac, so I  hope it'll work...
