volks,
is there an existing, or planned setting, for the CPAN utilities, that
will cause it to ignore any already installed dependencies, during an
installation, except for modules installed during the current session.
For example:
cpan install Foo
if Foo depends on Bar, and Bar is already installed, then the latest
version of Bar will be installed.
cpan install Foo Baz
if both Foo and Baz depend on Bar, then Bar gets installed, but only
once.
if this feature does not exist, would a patch providing this be welcome?
