Hi, This question is not about functionality but usability. I wonder whether there are any plans or objections to include cpanminus in core and to deprecate the cpan command line client. I have not used the latter since years and all modern instructions to install a perl module or application look like this 1. make sure you have installed perl 2. install cpanminus 3. call "cpanm Some::Module" (or install files and call "cpanm --installdeps .") Having cpanm with perl by default would definitely increase usability of perl and perl applications. Also cpanfiles are much easier to understand than for instance Makfile.PL. Cheers JakobThread Next
