OK. It didn't look too hard, so I added a "halt_on_failure" config option to the CPAN.pm trunk: https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/cpanpm/trunk I did some very quick, rudimentary testing and it seemed to work, but I encourage you to try it out and see if it serves your needs. It should work either from the CPAN shell or using the "cpan" script. If it seems to work, then it will be available whenever Andreas rolls out the next dev release. David
