How do you read CPAN change lists?

Since opening perlbrew, I have been a happy CPAN user. But what I never figured out is how to read changes in modules. For example, when looking at obsolete "r" in the CPAN shell, I would like to easily check the change log to decide whether or not to update.

Of course, I can download the module, unzip it and hunt for the change log. But I hope there is an easier way. How do you do this?

I am using an old CPAN shell. If CPANPLUS or cpanminus supports this, I would consider switching.
