Running install for module File::Spec...
Running install for module Archive::Tar...
Running install for module Net::Cmd...
Running install for module IO::String...

command 'r' still shows the following:

Package namespace         installed    latest  in CPAN file
B                              1.02      1.07  N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.6.tar.gz
