in thread cpan client problem with strawberry portable

Thanks soonix,

I confirm that >cpan m SDL and the corrispective  CPAN::Shell->m('SDL') and also i works as expected.

So the bug, if there is one as seems, is in the r command of cpan client and not a strawberry only issue.

PS 27 Dec 2018 bug fixed in 2.22 urrah!

      I find it useful. Sincerely i also remeber I had seen in the past r reporting correctly, but probably/evidently my memory fails.

      The presumed output of r command it's concise enough to be useful if you maintain many different distributions.

      What it's strange is that nobody noticed this before. Anyway i got a fast reply from the kind maintainer:

      > Thanks for the report! It's very nice to see a bug reported that is older than 20 years. Fixed in the repository in commit b5f9ae3c.
