Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-7
Severity: wishlist

I wish there were a way to pass 'force' to the cpan script.

administra...@geekbox:~$ cpan MIRK/Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.08.tar.gz
[...]

  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
administra...@geekbox:~$ 

Since most of the tests pass, I want to install this module anyway, but
there's no convenient way to pass 'force' to:

administra...@geekbox:~$ cpan MIRK/Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.08.tar.gz

Thanks, Jack

That happened with 5.10.0, so I'm closing this bug.
