Agreed that CPAN is a huge time saver. Not all modules on CPAN are
written with automatic installation in mind, unfortunately - as you've
seen, some tests depend on environment variables or other additional
configuration that doesn't fit into the CPAN.pm installation scheme.
A bigger problem
You can force any cpan command by prepending it with 'force' (type
'help' at the cpan prompt for a list of commands).
cpan> force install Module

CPAN module is cool! Dont know why I did not use it earlier!
However I have one problem. Sometimes, if the make test is not 100%, CPAN
does not install, even though I 'know' it is ok. So, I have to do some
installs the old way.
Any suggestions? I also like to hear about various uses people put
