Subject: Installing from cwd broken
Using `cpan .' as described in the documentation to install a module from the current working directory is broken as of version 2.14. This functionality was working in version 2.10. Example output: clalansingh@oll-clalansingh:~/workspace/0.2.0$ cpan . Reading '/home/clalansingh/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:17:03 GMT Could not expand [.]. Check the module name. Checking 180247 namespaces for close match suggestions Perhaps you meant one of these: U c B K P O V L M Wx Skipping . because I couldn't find a matching namespace.

Confirmed. Fortunately only the cpan script is broken and the workaround for now is: perl -MCPAN -e 'install "."' -- andreas
  Fri Jul 01 01:57:06 2016 The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

A tentative fix is in the repo and will likely find its way into the next release.
