Subject: Recursive Module Installation
Once Bug #2062 is resolved, it might be nice to allow recursive module installation. Possible algorithm for this example: cpan2rpm --install --recursive Net::DNAT Search the STDERR for verbage such as the following: Can't locate Net/Server/Multiplex.pm in @INC If it could successfully recursively install Net::Server::Multiplex, then it could try Net::DNAT again. This --recursive option may only be appropriate when the --install option is also supplied. Of course, beware of infinite loops. :-D

Maybe this verbage should be the first place to look instead of that "Can't locate" spewage: Warning: prerequisite IO::Multiplex 1.02 not found. Warning: prerequisite Net::Server 0.84 not found. Of course, this type of STDERR output comes from the PREREQ_PM settings.

And as a last resort, maybe stuff like the following can be scanned from the STDERR upon install: error: failed dependencies: perl(MIME::Body) is needed by perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.44-1
