Are you sure you're comparing the same things here? Using a tool like cpan/cpanm installs dependencies, running perl Makefile.PL does not. LWP::UserAgent has many dependencies.

    Yes, the manual install lets you know the dependencies, I then download those and install them. The manual process to get all dependencies, gunzip - untar - build - test - install is still faster than cpanm doing it.

    Also, I have been using cpanm --verbose which shows the install of each dependency, it gets 'stuck' at the same place for each dependency as well.

      Well, this is great news, regardless of install method (manual/cpanm) you've discovered the point at which this weird pause occurs. Could you please post an example of this?

      Update: Nope. Strikeout. See below.

        I think you misunderstood, the manual process does NOT pause like cpan/cpanm. I can complete everything manually much faster than doing the automated install. Thanks for you help so far and keeping an eye on this thread.
