in thread CPANPLUS with versioned Modules

Going by the documentation, it looks like you need to add the extension:
perl -MCPANPLUS -we 'install("/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.42.tar.gz")'
but I just looked at the code, and there doesn't actually seem to be support for this at all. I suggest you file a bug.
