Subject: installdeps doesn't look for most recent versions
I am not sure that this is a bug, but the behavior is not the one I expected. When you type cpanm --installdeps . it seems that cpanm doesn't try to install the lastest versions of modules that are already installed. I expected the command to behave like -i, i.e. install the latest. Apologies if I missed something or misundestood the documentation.

This is a feature. When you install a distribution Foo, the dependencies of Foo are not automatically updated to the latest as long as it is satisfied (if Foo requires Bar 0.3 and if you have Bar 0.4, CPAN/CPANPLUS/cpanm won't update it to the latest of Bar). That's exactly what --installdeps does. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa On Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 9:38 AM, Jean Véronis via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Many thanks for this extremely prompt answer! In that case, it would be useful to have a --updatedeps option. Congratulations in any case for this wonderful module.

No, it is annoying and misfunctional if installers automatically updates dependencies to the latest version. You have to bump dependencies by updating Makefile.PL, or use tools like cpan-outdated | cpanm to update all outdated modules.

I understand your point of view. Thanks for the last trick: cpan-outdated | cpanm I wasn't aware of this possibility, and it works like a charm!
