Bug #5944 for CPANPLUS: cpanp -i Module invites user to do the impossible: press 'p'.

Subject:

cpanp -i Module invites user to do the impossible: press 'p'.

CPANPLUS suggests that I press 'p' to see the full error message -- and then exits before I can press 'p'. Too bad, I would like to know why it failed -- but verbose is off. I think that this is a situation where showing the error message through $PAGER would be a wonderful plan. - R.

It would be, but due to the nature of the implementation of cpanp, that's not trivial.. i'm not seeing this as a high priority, but i'd take a patch (against 0.050) to fix this if you feel strongly about it
