in reply to problem installing JSON-ANY

I don't see the error here. It's normal for a Makefile.PL to call CPAN to download missing dependencies or features. If you don't want CPAN to download the dependencies, then just have a look at the Makefile.PL, find out what the dependencies are, and then manually download and install each dependency before you try to install JSON::Any.

    I'm not sure how normal that is, I've only ever seen modules using Module::Install try to do that. It makes sense if you're installing through the CPAN interface (module, shell or commandline) in which case CPAN takes care of it, but not for running perl Makefile.PL.
