Installing Perl modules from CPAN just got easier for Apple users.
This service enables the following functionality in macOS/OSX:

1. Select the name of a Perl module in any application.
2. Select: Services -> Install Perl module from CPAN
3. Terminal opens and CPAN client installs the module!

This sends any selected text to the CPAN client, so it can invoke any
command and install multiple modules, or just make a mess. The name
of the service shown above is an option you set when saving the service.
Use this Applescript code to create the service with Automator:

(* Apple macOS/OSX Automator Service. *)
(* Install selected Perl CPAN module! *)
(* Customize the CPAN variable below: *)

on run {input}
    set CPAN to "cpanm"
    try
        tell application "Terminal"
            activate
            tell application "System Events" to keystroke "n" using {c
+ommand down}
        end tell
        
        tell application "System Events"
            tell application process "Terminal"
                set frontmost to true
                set CMD to CPAN & " " & input
                keystroke CMD
                keystroke return
            end tell
        end tell
    end try
end run
