LloydRice has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

With Strawberry Perl, what is the preferred way to load CPAN modules? Should I go with the standard CPAN thing, or does Str. have a better way?

    Strawberry ships with both cpan and cpanm, I've had no problems using either. cpanm is faster for installing modules.

    AFAIK is strawberry meant to be compatible to other *nix'ish Perls.

    Personally I prefer cpanminus for ease of use, but that's not strawberry specific.

    I use the Strawberry CPAN client on Windows 7 all the time. Works fine.

    Howdy!

    Just use cpanm or cpan as you prefer. Strawberry doesn't seem to have it's own special flavor, but strives to support the "usual" tools.
