Howto: Install local dist file using the cpan shell
Gaah. I forgot it. Again.
When you have a downloaded tar ball of a CPAN package, but want to use the properly configured cpan shell to install it (and get dependencies nicely resolved):
- Unpack the tar ball
- cd into the dir
- cpan .
- Coffee time!
Or is it a BUG?"
"Let's call it an accidental feature. :-)"
