Yes, the main feature of cpm is fastness.

BTW it has also some features, which might interest you.

Features• (a) support git/dist syntax in cpanfile

• (b) install modules as if your perl version v5.X

• (c) install develop releases

• (d) flexible resolvers

• eg: integration with darkpan

• eg: native cpanfile.snapshot support

• Please look at App::cpm::Tutorial for details.

Future of cpm

• cpanminus is a widly used, stable CPAN client.

• So it is a little bit difficult to add a new feature to cpanminus.

• Let’s think of cpm as sandbox and let’s see what is useful with cpm.

Some idea• custom resolver:

> cpm install script:plackup > cpm install —custom-resolver resolver.pl Your::Module

• add hook points:inject dependenciesmodify Makefile.PL

• add some syntax/rules into cpanfile/snapshot:arch nameconfigure_args

• Do you have any idea or problems? Let’s talk to me!
