Re^4: Raspberry Pi and Perl (updated)

I guess that apt-get just copies files while cpanmn queries its mothership for dependencies and usually runs tests.

Yes, there's a big performance hit when running tests/compiling, especially if the device is running from SD card, which most do.	[reply]

Not everyone is aware of this, or would want to do this. Also, for XS modules you'll still need to compile, which is slower than just copying the files as `apt-get` does. The point is that, while not exactly the same thing and not ideal in all situations, `apt-get` is faster than cpanm on such systems.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Sure, but not everybody is aware of that, as most people likely just use the default options whatever they are.	[reply]
