I would *love* a way for the cpanminus (cpanm) client to be able to use distroprefs. The #1 perl issue plaguing me at work right now is being able to control how each module in our dependency chain gets installed -- e.g. some of them need to skip tests (because of various failures), some of them need to be installed with PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1, some of them need develop prereqs installed as well, etc. etc....
You got me in this one since I always thought that cpan and cpanminus could be used interchangeably... with cpan having more features, but being slower.
Also, I think that the distroprefs feature is underdocumented in general -- I've found that few people are aware of its existence. If it was used more widely, I suspect there would be better toolchain support for it.
Agreed. Lot's of things over there could be described with more details.
Pursuing this subject further is on my todo-list at QAH-Oslo this April. It would be awesome if others were interested as well, and we could figure out a list of action items and set a plan in motion.
