in thread To install a module...

I've stopped using CPAN and am trying to stay away from CPANPLUS, mainly because CPAN always seemed to D/L a horde of Modules on first setup (which wasn't too bad in itself) but it also grabbed the latest version of Perl and made you get the latest version. This had bad side effects with some of the scripts which I was running. So I use make on all of the modules I install on the production servers I setup.

Does CPANPLUS have better dependancy handling?
