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

Finally, someone has given me an advantage to cpanm.

    Hi ikegami,

    I'm sure it's because of lack of knowledge on my side. But starting with cpanm in combination with local::lib I do the following very often to test distributions and to get a feeling about the dependency tree resulting from installing these:

    mkdir mylib
cpanm -v -L ./mylib Probably::Fat::Dist # yes, yes -v: I also like out
+put
perl -Mlocal::lib=./mylib -MProbably::Fat::Dist -E'say "Get feet wet w
+ith Probably::Fat::Dist"'
rm -rf ./mylib

    I'm sure there is a way to do it with cpan, but I never learned it neither used it. Can you show an equivalent? (I'm really interested on systems without cpanm)

    Regards
    McA

      Using local::lib causes problems because of its use of INSTALL_BASE. I never use it.

      That will be missing dependencies that are already installed, right? http://deps.cpantesters.org/ is your friend. Provides min versions too.

        Have you some more informations about this INSTALL_BASE thing? And, thank you for the link to this web page.
