Something detonated my CPAN shell between successive runs. Now, when I try to install a new module, I see this:
Installing Data::Dump::Streamer
I can install a shortcut so you can use the package 'DDS'
as though it was 'Data::Dump::Streamer'. This is handy for oneliners.
*Note* that if you select 'no' below and you already
have it installed then it will be removed.
Would you like me to install the shortcut? (yes/no) [no]
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

I don't suppose anyone else has seen this? I don't relish going diving in search of the cause of this...
(Things like this make me wish there were a section on PM for "WTF?")
Update: Fixed formatting of code snippet

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
