Re: cpan: Terminal does not support AddHistory. [openSUSE]

[kcott]

I've been doing some setups using openSUSE Leap 15.6 recently for $work. Here are the zypper packages I used to get the cpan utility running cleanly (you may not need all of these).

• gcc
• zip
• perl-Log-Log4perl
• perl-Term-ReadLine-Perl
• perl-local-lib
• perl-YAML
• perl-CPAN-DistnameInfo
• perl-CPAN

Checking my old notes, this worked the same for openSUSE Leap 15.4. Presumably also good for Leap 15.5; and possibly for (some) versions prior to Leap 15.4.

Here's the perl & cpan info (cf. Re^2: cpan: Terminal does not support AddHistory. posted earlier):
