Download CPAN modules using perl

Question

I want to download all the CPAN modules using perl script. I Googled it. I found many of them suggested WWW::Mechanize module. Can any one give me clear idea how to start this? I tried the below code

use WWW::Mechanize;

my $url = 'marinetraffic2.aegean.gr/ais/getkml.aspx';
my $local_file_name = 'getkml.aspx';

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new;

$mech->get( $url, ":content_file" => $local_file_name );

but i couldn't get the possible output. Please help me out
