in thread CPAN shell - passing params for module installation

OK, so you do that command, to open up a shell, *within* the cpan shell, manually install it with the paramater --perl_only *and* any other parameters I set in the cpan shell -

That's not obvious AT ALL, but I appreciate the pointers. Maybe next time, post, not anonymously and perhaps a bit more friendly? I'm a friendly guy, this is a friendly place.

    like this perhaps?
    perl -le 'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,"ESEL\c_:,("'

    ;-)

    --shmem

    update: the Anonymous Monk wasn't me.

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                  /\_¯/(q    /
    ----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
    ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
      I'm trying to work out how this is doing what it is doing. I don't understand the $- as I thought that had to do with lines left on a page for formats and writes. Please let me in on the secret.

      Cheers,

        Correct. But you can assign to $- e.g. to acommodate the page length for your clay tablet printer 1. $- is 0 by default.

        The rest is easy - ord(R) == ord(E)+13, the other chars are offset -1 to the output (S,E,L -> T,F,M).

        German ESEL is English DONKEY, which is why I made that up in the first place. So the thingy is only acceptable with a smiley appended... ;-)

        --shmem

        1)The code that link points to is from the first edition of Programming Perl (a.k.a Pink Camel)

        _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                      /\_¯/(q    /
        ----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
        ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
