  You don't need to download the whole of CPAN to install Moose: http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=Moose&perl=5.16.0&os=any+OS http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=Moose&perl=5.16.0&#3... MongoDB (if that's what you are using?) has a few more dependancies however it actually uses Any::Moose and so could you Mouse instead of Moose: http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=MongoDB&perl=5.16.0&os=any+OS http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=MongoDB&perl=5.16.0&... Were you using cpanminus to install your modules? Because its much faster than default cpan command. I just tested using cpanminus (cpanm) on a vanilla perl install and installing Moose & MongoDB modules took 4 minutes here. Here's a summary: Install perl-5.16.0 via perlbrew - under 15 mins Install cpanminus - 5 secs cpanm Moose - 2 mins 5 secs (installed 22 distros) cpanm MongoDB - 1 min 52 secs (installed another 20 distros) Here's the log: https://gist.github.com/2836306 https://gist.github.com/2836306
