The problem I've been encountering recently is that the

Task-CPAN-Reporter stack includes IO-Socket-SSL, and the CPAN maintainer

of IO-Socket-SSL has given up on trying to maintain that module on

OpenBSD. See, for example,

https://github.com/noxxi/p5-io-socket-ssl/issues/115. While the OpenBSD

people do a good job of maintaining their *port* of IO-Socket-SSL via

patches, that port is only intended to work with the *system* perl in a

given version of OpenBSD. If you try to use 'cpan' or 'cpanm' to

install something that has IO::Socket::SSL in its dependency chain

(e.g., Task::CPAN::Reporter), you will get test failures.

Actually I think there's no need to use Task::CPAN::Reporter. Just install plain CPAN::Reporter and make sure to use a http URL in your .cpanreporter/config.ini.
