This is a newer API library into the CPAN repositories. It has a bunch of added functionality that CPAN doesn’t have. To install it, you can use CPAN:
1 2 |
perl -MCPAN -e shell install CPANPLUS |
Once done, exit
1 |
perl -MCPANPLUS -e shell |
Has added functionality: Some of the nicer features are ability to search by modules (m Test::TCP) or authors (a DMAKI) from within the API. The output displays numbers next to the outputted modules so you can quickly install “i 1” (install #1 in the list). Ability to automatically install all dependencies a particular module install needs. Print error stacks (p), able to self-update itself. I’m sure there are many other cool features that I’m not covering but these are the main ones I tend to use.
