in reply to Has Pinto become broken for new installs? - bootstrapped cpanm cannot find Pinto

FYI, fedora linux can install perl modules for *system perl* via its own package manager (dnf). For example, I can do

dnf search pinto dnf install perl-Pinto.noarch

(Perl packages are prefixed by perl- TeX packages by texlive-, etc.)

Having said all that, and as a warning to other readers: it is best to have own perl version installed via perlbrew so as to keep own perl and its installed packages separate from system perl and its own packages. System perl is not always updated to the latest as a precaution against incompatibilities etc. So, installing perl modules via linux's package manager, i.e. for the system perl, I assume that it has no danger to break one's system because the linux distribution people must have done their tests and allowed for the specific version to be installed via OS package manager. What is prone to breaking the system is to NOT having a separate perl (via perlbrew) but use the system perl AND installing packages (and dependencies!) via cpan/cpanm (for the system perl). The latter will not know what packages the OS perl should not have upgraded etc. and will sooner or later break the system with one-too-many upgrade. Just a warning to new readers. (I learned this here at PerlMonks myself)
