To add to PA28's answer:
Yes, read my diary for an idea of what the CPL consists of. But remember that the course syllabus has changed since then - there is much less instrument work than there used to be, and the navigation diversion is now done visually.
The IMC is still very worthwhile, though. PA28 is not quite correct when he talks about having to "accumulate an amount of dual time", though. You need to have at least 100 hours of P1 time before you apply for the license - and the rest of your time may be either P1 or dual. So if you do not yet have 100 hours P1, then doing the IMC would be a bad idea, because your time would be better spent building up to this requirement. There is no minimum total dual time that you need to achieve during hour-building (as PA28 suggests), though.
Other suggestions would be a tail-wheel checkout, aerobatics, or complex checkout. Or if you need more solo time and don't want to do any of these, then maybe you could hire an aircraft for a copule of weeks and tour around Europe or the UK? Whatever you do, make sure you practice stalls, steep turns and PFLs regularly.
And the main thing - have fun!!!
