Localizing $CPAN::Distrostatus::something_has_failed_at seems to
decouple calls to install() when I don't want them to know about each
other, and halt_on_failure still works as far as I can tell:
DISTRO: foreach my $distro ( @distros ) {
local $CPAN::Distrostatus::something_has_failed_at;
say "Processing $distro...";
my $module = CPAN::Shell->expand( 'Module', $distro )
or die "CPAN.pm doesn't know about $distro!\n";
say "Installing $distro";
CPAN::Shell->install( $distro );
say "Finished processing $distro\n";
}
I don't particularly like that as a permanent solution, but it's a fine
one until the holidays are over.
I think there's room for improvement in Distrostatus, but I'll think
about that later and maybe finish my half a patch.
