You can install dev releases with cpanm pretty easily... cpanm Exception::Lite ! Finding Exception::Lite on cpanmetadb failed. ! Finding Exception::Lite () on mirror http://www.cpan.org failed. ! Couldn't find module or a distribution Exception::Lite () cpanm Exception::Lite --dev --> Working on Exception::Lite Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EL/ELISHEVA/Exception-Lite-0 +.999_003.tar.gz ... OK Configuring Exception-Lite-0.999_003 ... OK Building and testing Exception-Lite-0.999_003 ... FAIL ! Installing Exception::Lite failed. See /home/moo/.cpanm/work/1377100 +570.9392/build.log for details. Retry with --force to force install i +t. [download] ...when they are installable anyway. Seems to be a problem (for me at least) `'Missing argument in testWarningsAndExceptions::A->new at /home/moo/.cpanm/work/1377100661.9618/Exception-Lite-0.999_003/blib/lib/Exception/Lite.pm line 482`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I cannot install Exception::Lite with cpan either (I'm on perl 5.12.2): `cpan Exception::Lite ... Warning: Cannot install Exception::Lite, don't know what it is.` [download] Metacpan cannot find it either: https://metacpan.org/search?q=Exception%3A%3ALite search.cpan.org shows it as a DEVELOPER RELEASE (could that be an issue?) Update: nevermind. ~~In the meantime, you could try downloading the tar file and installing, and submit an RT bug.~~	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, it's because there have been only dev releases. Supply a qualified name: `cpan ELISHEVA/Exception-Lite-0.999_004.tar.gz` cpanminus, as usual, comes out on top. :) `cpanm --dev Exception::Lite`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Exception::Lite uses a null filename at line 2 which keeps the Makefile.PL from working properly. You can get around that with CPAN by doing this: `cpan> look ELISHEVA/Exception-Lite-0.999_004.tar.gz` [download] CPAN will drop to a temporary directory, then do `perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
