Re: Why are cpan modules so slow to install?by GrandFather (Saint) |

I agree that many of the modules I install using cpanm take a long time, where long can be tens of minutes. There are reasons:
My limited understanding of Python module installs is that they amount to copying a file. From what I've seen there is no install time dependency checking. I may be misremembering on both assertions, but if not the work that is done for a Perl module install is very different than Python. In principle that means that a Perl module that installs correctly should have everything it needs to actually work correctly on your machine. My very limited experience with Python is that is not generally the case.
