cpanm options diagnosis

wollmers has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

yesterday I reinstalled perlbrew on my Mac OSX 10.9 Mavericks,

- installed perl-5.16.3 under perlbrew

- perlbrew install-cpanm

$ which cpanm
/Users/helmut/perl5/perlbrew/bin/cpanm
$ echo $PERL_CPANM_OPT

$ echo $PATH
/Users/helmut/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/Users/helmut/perl5/perlbrew/perls/pe
+rl-5.16.3/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/
+bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin
[download]

But cpanm installed suggested dependencies in case of a plain

$ cpanm Minilla
[download]

Where does this installation of the suggested dependencies come from? How can I find it? BTW: Yes, there is more than one cpanm installed (System Perl, Macports, perlbrew)

Means: cpanm behaves like the option --with-suggests is specified/configured, but where can I find this configuration?

TIA Helmut Wollmersdorfer

The configuration of the cpanm options in my installation. cpanm should not install "suggested" per default. What configuration of the cpanm options, where did you see that? App::cpanminus - It's dependency free (can bootstrap itself), requires zero configuration, and stands alone. When running, it requires only 10MB of RAM. update: Please mark your updates , thank you. How do I change/delete my post? So you're now saying installing Minilla installed Devel::PPPort and Dist::Zilla for you, as if you were using the experimental --with-suggests? It doesn't for me $ mversion Devel::PPPort Dist::Zilla Warning: module 'Devel::PPPort' does not seem to be installed. Warning: module 'Dist::Zilla' does not seem to be installed. $ cpanm Minilla --> Working on Minilla Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TO/TOKUHIROM/Minilla-v0.11.0 +.tar.gz ... OK Configuring Minilla-v0.11.0 ... OK Building and testing Minilla-v0.11.0 ...
