So if CPAN.pm 1.92XX goes into 5.10, then there *will* be a CPAN client in core that knows when to upgrade itself. We don't need CPANPLUS for that. I think the fact that CPANPLUS is lagging behind on this mostly just creates noise on CPAN Testers, since most of the smokers are using CPANPLUS as the underlying client. And -- since the test volume has scaled up dramatically, there's a lot more failure reports harassing people that need more modern tools to build and test their modules. Regards, David
