Iff you're running the install starting from the CPAN(PLUS) shell.
What about installing a local tarball that doesn't live on CPAN? (or
isn't there yet) That is, how do you install from
file:///tmp/Some-Dist.tar.gz without reconstructing a cpan mirror?
But, I think Keith is talking about an even less organized situation
like some_random_script.pl which ships without any packaging. In that
case, Module::ScanDeps would probably be what you need.

So malloc calls a timeout and starts rummaging around the free chain,
sorting things out, and merging adjacent small free blocks into larger
blocks. This takes 3 1/2 days.
