Re: perlbrew: moving to a new perl with all current modules

Or even cat /tmp/pms | xargs cpanm, since cpanm accept multiple modules to install on its command line.

I also have a local CPAN mirror set up with CPAN::Mini, which greatly reduces installation time of modules. (And no, for bigger installations that still takes more than a minute, but the manual effort is just a minute).

Some operating systems (e.g. Linux) place an arbitrary limit on the length (in bytes) of the argument list passed to a process. See Linux ARG_MAX. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]

... and xargs is well aware of that, and splits up the command line and executes the program multiple times if necessary. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]

xargs needs a -n switch for that though - or does it not?	[reply]
