Thank-you Geoff, this is exactly what I was looking for.

OK you can do this by CPAN modules.
But remember - you will STILL need to have special versions or names
(just like you do in Debian) - all package systems try and install
the newest version, so you will have to choose a version number that
is always greater than the CPAN version.
All you have to do is set 'urllist' to two URLs, where yours is
probably first. This is common when you want to install from CDRom
and remotely.
This is well documented in "perldoc CPAN"
You can do it interactively by typing:
"conf urllist push file://localhost/CDROM/CPAN"
Alternatively you can use CPAN::Mini - to create a minimal mirror of
CPAN.
CPAN::Site - is almost exactly what you want - although I am not sure
if it has not already been replaced by bits of CPAN generally.
"This module virtually adds site specific modules to CPAN. The
general idea is to have a local (pseudo) CPAN server which is asked
first."
More info on all of the above is on CPAN (The archive, not the
module) :-)

Microsoft is not the answer. It's the question. And the answer is no.
