Interesting. That almost certainly breaks something on some platforms. Among other things, CPAN.pm will try to add all of those to PERL5LIB, which likely hits some environment variable size limit. (We get this on Windows not infrequently.) The weird thing to me is that assuming CPAN::Reporter is installed in sitelib (which it appeared to be), problems with PERL5LIB or '-I' flags should be irrelevant. Kirk, what does regular 'cpan -t Task::Cpanel' do? (Can we isolate the problem to CPAN instead of CPAN::Reporter::Smoker?)
