| Subject: | Devel::Cover as a dependency causes CPANPLUS grief (if already present) |
I seem to be hitting an odd edge case involving Module::Install's dependency
checking and CPANPLUS.
I'm attempting to install Task::Kensho via CPANPLUS.
T-K includes Devel::Cover as an optional dependency. As it happens, I already have
it installed.
It seems that as part of the dependency checking, Devel::Cover gets loaded, and
then causes grief a bit later, like so:
$ cpanp
Show quoted text
> i Task::Kensho
... time passes ... I hit 'y' to several prompts ...
