Interesting. I'll look into that. I regularly try out cpanm also.
I thought we only got problems with Module::Install and Module::Build cs. EUMM.

I could not repro this. I built HTTP::Status just fine. I'll think about it.

Sorry, too much manual work.
I rather prefer only one single dependency and update step than 150.

These are just the basics to get CPAN and CPAN::Reporter working,
the rest you can do by your own.
You''l only need such cygports deps (like Yaakov needs them) if you
build projects
requiring perl modules. There are not many.
