  Fri Nov 10 18:28:09 2006 cpan [...] desert-island.me.uk - Ticket created
Subject: Funky error messages when command-line args are missed
Type: cpanp Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst (missed out the actual "install" command) And the "error" looks like: [ERROR] '::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst' does not contain an author part [ERROR] Cannot find '::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst' in the module tree No such module: ::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst No modules found to operate on! .. could be a more useful message with cleverer parsing.

I've added logic that should detect this now in the default shell: CPAN Terminal> Test::Foo::Bar foo Could not understand command: Test::Foo::Bar foo Possibly missing command before argument(s)? CPAN Terminal>
