| Subject: | cpanm --look broken |
Contrary to the documentation and expectations from similar functionality in the other cpan
clients, `cpanm --look` is not just downloading and extracting the given distribution- it is
downloading all the dependencies as well, then building and testing everything. It stops short
of installing everything, but the output wrongly states it does. It then fails to open the
directory of the requested distribution. All in all, it's acting like cpanm --dry-run.
