445875 - Make it possible to open a CPAN shell with install-module.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, enhancement)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Sometimes there are commands I need to type into the CPAN shell that won't work with install-module directly, like the commands to install a specific module version.

We should have a --shell argument that opens a CPAN shell with all the standard install-module configuration done.

Patch to enable a shell support for install-module.pl

Looks good to me. Need to change the indentation to 4 characters on checkin, though.

For future patches, see our development process here:

I decided that this is such a small (yet extremely useful) change that it wouldn't hurt to have it on the 3.4 branch also.

I made a few adjustments on checkin--just fixed some indentation and modified the POD of install-module slightly.

Thanks for the patch! :-)
