if you've got the CPAN perl module, then
perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
will keep you off the streets for a while.
i've got a script called 'cpan' which does basically that;
i thought i got it from a debian package but
# dpkg -S cpan
dpkg: *cpan* not found.
# which cpan
/usr/bin/cpan
here it is in all its glory:
#!/usr/bin/perl
eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if 0; # not running under some shell
use CPAN;
shell;
that's it!
