Yeah, I'm a little gun shy about adding stuff from unsupported repositories. Maybe it's for no good reason but I've heard others tell me it's a bad idea.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    The only things I don't do on my Linux installations is a) muck with system Perl; and b) muck with system Python. Beyond that, anything is fair game (using reasonable judgment of course... if apt-get install can, I will. In this case, since it worked directly, I'd say it's a supported repo, not an unsupported one ;).

      Also worth pointing out there's a difference between unofficial repos and 'unsupported' repos.

      What's your opinion on using cpanm to install modules? I use it all the time but no idea if it's going to cause me headaches down the road. I'm just kind of praying that it won't.

        It's almost all I use. Sometimes I'll switch to just cpan if I actually want to see the output displayed live time, but that's pretty rare.
