a fast CPAN module installer

Install

There are 2 ways.

1) self-contained version

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skaji/cpm/main/cpm > cpm
$ chmod +x cpm
$ ./cpm --version

2) From CPAN

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skaji/cpm/main/cpm | perl - install -g App::cpm
$ cpm --version

Description

cpm is a fast CPAN module installer.

cpm prepares dependencies first and performs final installation separately. By default, it installs the requested distributions and their runtime dependency closure.

This makes installs more stable and more predictable, especially for larger dependency graphs and parallel work.

For more background on the cpm v1 redesign, see cpm v1: making installs stable.
