> How does perlbrew clone-modules fail for these modules?

I don't know cause after the first few modules succeeded I didn't monitor the output of clone-modules nor did I scroll back looking for errors. It was a long process that I assumed had worked. It probably failed the same way shown on that github page: 

! Finding Acme::Tools on cpanmetadb failed.
! Finding Acme::Tools () on mirror http://www.cpan.org failed.
! Couldn't find module or a distribution Acme::Tools

Because it used to exist on CPAN but now only lives on github.com/briandfoy/file-fingerprint

> You are the only person to investigate that.

I doubt that. The github page says it's broken since 2021! Maybe others don't complain? :)

> You also don't tell us from what Perl version you are trying to clone the modules.

Sorry I didn't think it was relevant: 5.38.2

> My guess is that some of the modules fail because their prerequisites cannot be cloned...

I don't think so because I have the prerequisites. For example Acme::Tools only has few common dependencies. Also Imager itself did get cloned it was only a few image format modules that failed. It's on the same box so I have the SSL stuff that works with 5.38.2.
