How to upgrade all perl CPAN modules installed in a user directory?

Question

I have a user directory with CPAN modules and I want to have a script that will upgrade all of the to their latest release.

Note: it should be executable by any user not only root.

What is the proper command to do this?

I know that cpan -r should upgrade CPAN modules but I want to force it to do this only for those installed in this specific directory.

I'm not sure if this question is of any help, but perhaps. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3727795/how-do-i-update-all-my-cpan-module-to-their-latest-versions — squiguy, Jun 29 '13 at 22:25
