  #  * cpm.yml
  #  * cpanfile
  #  * META.json (with dynamic_config false)
  #  * Build.PL

  > cpm install -g Module

  # read modules from STDIN by specifying "-" as an argument
  > cat module-list.txt | cpm install -

  # prefer TRIAL release
  > cpm install --dev Moose

  # install modules as if version of your perl is 5.8.5
  # so that modules which are not core in 5.8.5 will be installed
  > cpm install --target-perl 5.8.5

  # resolve distribution names from DARKPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
  # and fetch distributions from DARKPAN/authors/id/...
  > cpm install --resolver 02packages,http://example.com/darkpan Your::Module
  > cpm install --resolver 02packages,file:///path/to/darkpan    Your::Module

  # specify types/phases in cpmfile/cpanfile/metafile by "--with-*" and "--without-*" options
  > cpm install --with-recommends --without-test
