Linda, your bug report seems to be:

(1) I disagree with the decision to have experimental warnings on by default

(2) I mistyped the name of a module I wanted to install

Neither of these are bugs.

#1 is a difference of opinion.  The new warning was debated in the
only forum which matters (p5p) and decided by the only person that
matters (the current Pumpking).  That's how Perl development works.
No decision ever satisfies everyone.  You're welcome to disagree, but
it's not going to change merely because you disagree.

#2 is your own error

This ticket should be closed.
