in thread Getting Perl 6 on Debian Jessie with Rakudo?

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.

      You can get the output displayed in real time by using the -v option, which also enables interactive config. cpanm.

        Thanks marto! It's the simple things, and sometimes, old habits don't die easily ;)

        This, along with prove -l t/xxx.t are little simplicities I've picked up over the last couple of days that'll make my life simpler if I remember to make them the new habits.
