Re: Perl 5.18 RC2 has been released (Deprecated Utilities cpanp)

Deprecated Utilities The following utilities will be removed from the core distribution in a future release as their associated modules have been deprecated. They will remain available with the applicable CPAN distribution. cpanp

cpanp is removed because its deprecated?

I think this is error, because I can find no such mention of CPANPLUS being deprecated

Not surprising given that no link to documentation stating such is provided

If there exists some deprecation notice, please link it

The following utilities will be removed from the core distribution in a future release... I think this is the first notice that, maybe in 5.20 or later, CPANPLUS and the associated tools will be removed. 5.18-RC2 certainly includes `cpanp`, as I've used it to test installation of modules. I don't know where the deprecation of CPANPLUS comes from, but I think it just hasn't seen much maintenance and carries quite some overhead in term of modules. Of course, CPANPLUS will stay available through the CPAN.	[reply] [d/l]

Hmm, I kind of think that info might be important/interesting Nothing here or todo.pod, and I think I found it:) Taking CPANPLUS out of core - nntp.perl.org , [Round 2] Taking CPANPLUS out of core - nntp.perl.org and https://github.com/phaylon/perltodo/blob/master/CPANPLUS-Deprecation-Tree.mkdn, and How do we know when a CORE module is deprecated? \| chris fedde [blogs.perl.org] It appears somehow they've determined that "`CPANPLUS did not replace CPAN.pm as the CPAN client of choice`" so out of the core it goes :) Along with the above, a reading of perlpolicy made it click for me :) I think a link to https://metacpan.org/module/RJBS/perl-5.18.0-RC2/pod/perlpolicy.pod#deprecated , one of `L<perlpolicy> L<perlpolicy/Terminology> L<perlpolicy/deprecated>` [download] for the perldelta deprecation section would be useful -- cross reference and all that :)	[reply] [d/l]
