ie this:
- } # transfer programs
+ } # download/transfer programs (DLPRG)
} # host
+ require Carp;
+ if ($some_dl_success) {
+ Carp::cluck("Warning: doesn't seem we had substantial success downloading '$aslocal'. Don't know how to proceed.");
+ } else {
+ Carp::cluck("Warning: no success downloading '$aslocal'. Giving up on it.");
+ }
+ $CPAN::Frontend->mysleep(5);
+ return;
So, does anyone have any opinion for 5.10.1, whether I should
a) ship CPAN as-is (with the noisy warning)
b) remove that segment above completely
c) keep it, but replace the clucks with carps?
