Re^3: recursive dependencies in 5.8.8 vs 5.10 and CPAN

It's unlikely that Kevin Raymer is the author of Parse::Lex. But the CPAN tool now has a patching feature called "distroprefs", which you can use to automatically apply local patches to module whenever they get installed through CPAN.

Cool - that's very good to know. In case you've used it - how could I transfer the settings from one machine to another?	[reply]

I haven't used them myself, but I imagine, after reading the documentation, that distributing distroprefs locally is a matter of copying a directory. Distributing distroprefs globally is likely best done by uploading them to your CPAN directory.	[reply]
