Hello Monks! First timer here, so I apologize if I phrase my inquiry poorly... In any case, I am having difficulty with the cpanm utility along with perlbrew, on Mac OS X 10.14. Specifically, when I try to install modules using cpanm (installed through perlbrew), I get a listing of the prerequisites that are missing, but the cpanm system won't automatically install them! Instead, I have to manually cpanm each one of them (and if they have their own prereqs, then I have to recursively expand my cpanm module downloading) until the originally attempted module finally installs! And I'm not sure what to do about this! I have tried removing cpanm and reinstalling, I have tried installing cpanm using $ cpan App::cpanminus, I have tried to remove and recreate the cpan config... nothing works! The modules do eventually get installed per the method described above, but on other systems where I've used cpanm, it seems that prereqs are automatically chased down. I've also made sure that the relevant PERL_CPANM_OPT environment variable is empty, as well. By way of example, running $ cpanm Moose results in the following:
