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?
