Need Help??

in thread CPAN, recursive dependency problem

Where (or how) does CPAN's install figure that there is a dependency? I would like to be able to break stuff to lie to it,
and I'd as soon break the "idea" that there is a dependency loop.

Also, if this comes up with any frequency, I'd suggest enforcing some scheme to prevent such loops in the first place.
I haven't seen any reference to this issue in any other FAQs (CPAN, Perl) but it bites often enough.

Thanks for the information.
