Subject:

Returns immediately. Better error reporting?

Hi, I tried ucpan (Linux, perlbrew). But ucpan immediately exits and returns to shell prompt. There's no error message or an option to show more details. I have also tried -c, -f, --mirror with the same result.

Hi, PERLANCAR. Sorry, this is because you have not installed App::cpanoutdated. Please install it or upgrade App::ucpan to the new version 1.13. Thanks, kpee <kpee.capnx@gmail.com> On 2019-4月-09 火 01:43:30, PERLANCAR wrote: Show quoted text

Then you should: 1) add App::cpanoutdated as a dependency for App-ucpan, so CPAN clients install it automatically when user installs App::ucpan; 2) check whether App::cpanoutdated exists on the system and prints an error message when it does not. Since you do not have 1) nor 2), users will be confused when they try ucpan. On Mon, 9 Dec 2019 09:43:04 GMT, KPEE wrote: Show quoted text
