dvergin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I could, of course do it by hand the Old Fashioned Way. But now it has become a matter of principle. I know it can be done. I remember there is some trick to it. I tried "Bundle::..." and several other variations, but no joy.
What is the correct CPAN command line to install p5-Palm from the cpan site?
And while we are at it, *why* doesn't it work to just say "install p5-Palm" or "install Bundle::p5-Palm" like I do with every other package?
UPDATE: The following line worked. The install thrashed around for a while but it eventually did find the package and install it.
install http://cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/A/AR/ARENSB/p5-Palm-1.3.0.tar.gz
There's got to be cleaner way.
UPDATE #2: After examining the "thrashing" output from the previous attempt, I find that either of the following lines work:
install A/AR/ARENSB/p5-Palm-1.3.0.tar.gz
install ARENSB/p5-Palm-1.3.0.tar.gz
But my question remains: Why does this package require a special installation procedure under the CPAN module?
