Re: How do I get CPANPLUS (or some other tool) to resolve dependencies when installing local .tar.gz packages?

I guess you can type cpan . as of 1.9xx (not totally sure about the version, but it's kinda new).

Well, I should say you have to untar it ...

(
tar -zxvvf package.tar.gz
cd package* && cpan .
)
[download]

(I've gone and assumed a dash/bash/sh type shell.)

Oh, no, I missed that the local packages depend on eachother. :( There probably is a way to do that, but I don't know it. I did get a Bundle::JetsFavorites to work out of my ~/.cpan/ dir once. Perhaps it's a similar process.

That would install a singe package but wouldn't correctly resolve dependencies for local packages that aren't on the cpan if I understand it correctly.	[reply]

No. `cpan .` resolves all dependencies and installs the distribution in the current directory.	[reply] [d/l]
