Thank you for correcting me.

Once again I know why I use cpanm.

    How would it have been different with cpanm?

      I would have used cpanm --reinstall DIST which would force the attempt to reinstall without skipping the tests, isn't it?

        Ah, nice. just checked, and cpan doesn't have this. It should, though.

        Finally, someone has given me an advantage to cpanm.

        • Has --reinstall
        • Uses less memory, allowing it to be used on some embedded systems I don't use.
        • You have to use curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus instead of press Enter the first time you use it.
        • Less configurable.
        • Hides output, so it appears to be doing nothing for minutes at a time.
