hello all,
what's the right way (fewest keystrokes, fire and forget)
way to recursively download and install from CPAN all
packages that a given package depends on?
e.g., i've got package xxx that is in CPAN.
is there a single command (or a small set of
commands i can send to CPAN to recursively get all
reachable (within CPAN) dependencies of xxx? even
better would be something smart enough to find all
dependencies from anywhere, but that's probably
not possible for now so i don't mind if i figure
out from the INSTALL doc or the include statements
what are needed, and then find them all on CPAN and
get them. i'd rather not have to deal with getting
subdependencies though. that can degenerate into
something similar to RPM hell (although less painful).
