cpanm lets you set this up with the environment variable PERL_CPANM_OPT=-n, confirmed working.

Thanks! The discussion on github has since extended to track down the actual issue in the cpan source code: it pushes the contents of CPAN_OPTS onto the argument array instead of unshifting. We'll see if the devs end up making that small change to fix this.	[reply]

`cpanm` is faster and lighter on resources, perhaps worth considering anyway, depending on your goal.	[reply] [d/l]
