By early 2024, "http" was the default in cpanminus; work on making "https" the default is still ongoing

Good point, thanks for mentioning it. When I was writing this node back in 2023 I was kindly advised by hippo to invoke the cpanm command like this: 

$ cpanm --from https://www.cpan.org/ ...

Checking my original inst-cpanminus.tmp log file from that node, I was relieved to see that this cpan command:

$ cpan App::cpanminus 2>&1 | tee inst-cpanminus.tmp

always used https by default. So it seems this is one thing the cpan command does better than cpanm.
