Subject: Prior art: CPAN.pm's is_tested/install_tested
It seems that the main point of cpanx is to give the user the ability to inspect what is freshly installed or upgraded. This can actually be done with the CPAN.pm shell too: * Start the CPAN.pm shell: cpan * Test the wished module: test Some::Module * See what was built as a dependency of this module: is_tested * Install this list (i.e. the wished module with all dependencies) install_tested I think this could go into the cpanx documentation as a possible alternative.
Its similar to what this program shows, although I think this program shows it nicer. I'll add a section to the docs in the next version. thanks. On Fri Jun 01 14:48:23 2018, SREZIC wrote: Show quoted text
