cpan-upload
(2.2)
While it's been replaced (for me) by Module::Release, cpan-upload was my prime method for releasing modules until very recently. It saved me from going through the (often slow) PAUSE web interface and from using FTP, which I can't stand. After one release, it will have paid for its setup time. After two or three, you won't upload modules without it.

cpan-upload
(2.2)
This is not a module, it's a script.
After going through most of my modules on CPAN to make sure that
they will work on the soon to be Perl 5.8.1, I again realized that the
low profile, but very handy cpan-upload utility script is a must-have
for a module author.
What does it do? Well, not a lot, but it does it quickly and quietly. It
uploads your files to CPAN as simple as:
cpan-upload Your-Module-1.07.tar.gz
You get your confirmation mails just the way as you would normally
if you would upload files to CPAN "manually".
What do you need to do? Well, download it, then:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
then, in you home directory, create a file named ".pause" that you
can only read and write to (-rw------), and put your configuration
information in there. This is usually very simple, such as:
user CPANID
password xyuolskhj
mailto your@address.tld
and voila, you're set!
Neil Bowers has made a very nice utility script that is well
documented. Kudo's to Neil!
