in thread upgrade of B::C failure

I would feel uncomfortable forcing an installation while there are test errors.

Why? What is a few test failures when THIS CODE IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.?

    Not sure what happened. My last post didn't show up (an empty slot for it did though - which is kind of strange). So, I will repeat my comments.

    Unless there is some way of excluding modules from ugrading when executing the upgrade command, I can't just ignore the B::C problem. I have set halt_on_failure so any installs I make don't continue if a dependent module fails to build. So, I can't complete the upgrade until I figure out how to get past the B::C upgrade problem

    Perhaps I am unaware of a way to exclude specific modules from upgrading when running upgrade from the interactive cpan command line. If there is a way to do this, let me know. Otherwise, unless I set halt_on_failure to no (which allows the global upgrade to continue even if some module upgrades fail), then I can't complete the global upgrade. Setting halt_on_failure to no means when I do an install, failed dependencies will not halt the install, which is not what I want to happen.
