I see you're not having a great CPANPLUS night. Perhaps it's better that we don't copy p5p in on all these issues, and we'll try and sort the ones you've reported via the regular CPANPLUS bug queue on rt.cpan.org. Thanks for obliging, -- Jos Boumans

While testing CPANPLUS on my bleadperl test directory, I ran into the following problem. I built and installed bleadperl into a dedicated directory. I then ran cpanp5.9.5 and told it to t CPANPLUS Up popped the following alarming message: Could not find or check module 'Module::Signature' [THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM!] at /home/doughera/my/perl/lib/5.9.5/CPANPLUS/Module/Signature.pm line 51 What's the point? What is the user actually supposed to do? The program just continued on. -- Andy Dougherty doughera@lafayette.edu

This is due to a suboptimal heuristic -- we checked for all the prerequisites of Module::Signature before enabling sig checking, except in some cases for M::S itself. For the record, this just means you can't/wont check signatures on releases, not that the entire process will halt, as i'm sure you found out. I've just addressed this in VCS, so if the heuristic enables signature checking, it will only do that if all components are available. I will be rolling a release after addressing your other reports.
