cpan-upload-http can't install from CPAN shell. please include dummy package(e.g. App::CPAN::Upload::HTTP)

Actually, this is not true. The CPAN shell has the rather unknown ability to install scripts. Because scripts are not indexed one has to use the full distribution name, i.e. install BRADFITZ/cpan-upload-http-2.4.tar.gz But in general it's true that it's better to use dummy packages, to get more CPAN features available (indexing, installation support for other CPAN installation tools, the ability to add a test suite and get the script tested...). Regards, Slaven
That fails with: No tests defined for cpan-upload-http extension.
