Need Help??

in reply to Detecting failures easily/obviously with cpanm

cpanm -q Module::Name can help. The -q (aka --quiet) flag reduces the output to list only the distribution installs attempted, and their success or fail status.

Typically what I do though is just re-run the cpanm command again, as it'll skip over all the successful dists, and focus squarely on the failed ones making them easy to identify.

I had considered the option of just re-running the whole lot to make the failures stand out, however that does make my inefficiency-spidey-sense start tingling. One of the modules in today's bundle was Mail::Spamassassin for instance and that takes several minutes to run its test suite. Still worth bearing in mind, though.

Thanks for the pointer to -q - I will definitely give that one a go.
