in thread Can ExtUtils::MakeMaker recommend to install optional modules?

 --with-recommends, --with-suggests
EXPERIMENTAL: Installs dependencies declared as recommends and suggest
+s respectively, per META spec. When these dependencies fail to instal
+l, cpanm continues the installation, since they're just recommendatio
+n/suggestion.

Enabling this could potentially make a circular dependency for a few m
+odules on CPAN, when recommends adds a module that recommends back th
+e module in return.

There's also --without-recommend and --without-suggests to override th
+e default decision made earlier in PERL_CPANM_OPT.

Defaults to false for both.
