It seems to be traditional, but I don't like it and hope it isn't best practice. I hate it when I ask CPANPLUS to install a module, and it goes off to install the hundred-odd sub-dependencies.. and then I go to lunch, and come back to find CPANPLUS paused after 5 modules on one that is asking a question I don't care about. > And as long as it installs quickly and cleanly under cpanm then the rest > of the world is happy too... :)
