in thread How to install a CPAN module which is only available as part of a comprehensive Perl distribution?

I think that this is an appropriate point to whine about CPAN. Often I cannot install or upgrade modules from CPAN because my installation has 5.10.0 and CPAN only sees the most recent 5.10.1 version. Why doesn't CPAN only look for modules that can be installed, unless told otherwise? Or at least have an option to do so?

Whew! I feel much better now.
