Bundle::CPAN - Bundle to optimize the behaviour of CPAN.pm
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'
Test::Harness -- critical prereq because must be >=2.62
ExtUtils::CBuilder -- some of the things below depend on it without declaring (as of 2006-10)
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Module::Build
File::Spec -- prereq
File::Temp -- prepreq
Scalar::Util -- prereq
Test::More -- prereq
Data::Dumper
Digest::SHA
File::HomeDir
Compress::Raw::Bzip2 -- needed by Compress::Zlib or IO::Compress, not sure
Compress::Raw::Zlib -- needed by Compress::Zlib
IO::Compress::Base -- needed by Compress::Zlib
IO::Uncompress::Gunzip -- really IO::Compress::Zlib -- needed by Compress::Zlib
Compress::Zlib
IO::Zlib -- needed by Archive::{Tar,Zip}
Archive::Tar
Archive::Zip
Net::Cmd -- not sure if we need this for Net::FTP
Net::FTP
Term::ReadKey
Term::ReadLine::Perl -- could be replaced by "readline" some time after 1.88
YAML -- user may have a preference for YAML::Syck but as a bundle we don't know
Parse::CPAN::Meta -- 2009-07-02: 5.6.2 currently has no YAML
Text::Glob
CPAN
File::Which
This bundle includes CPAN.pm as the base module.
When CPAN installs this bundle it tries immediately to enable Term::ReadLine so that you do not need to restart your CPAN session.
In this bundle Term::ReadLine::Perl is preferred over Term::ReadLine::Gnu because there is no way to express OR in dependencies.
Note that all modules in this Bundle are not strict prerequisites to get a working CPAN.pm. CPAN.pm can work quite well without the other modules (except for Net::FTP which is really highly recommended). The other modules are suggested and can safely be installed later or not at all.
Please install the Bundle::CPANxxl to get a few more.
