| Subject: | cpan: multiple problems with command-line options |
First discussed on irc.perl.org #perl-qa Sat Mar 22 by Paul Johnson.
Using the 'cpan' command-line utility that comes with Perl 5.18.2.
I. 'cpan -v' produces no output.
#####
[~] 34 $ which cpan
/home/jkeenan/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.18.2/bin/cpan
[~] 35 $ cpan -v
[~] 36 $
#####
II. 'cpan -T Some::Module' runs tests
The man page says:
#####
-T Do not test modules. Simply install them.
#####
But when I went to update Try::Tiny, it ran the tests as if I had not used '-T'. (Performance otherwise satisfactory.)
III. 'cpan -V' has uninitialized value, subsequently fails
See attachment cpan_V.txt.
Thank you very much.
