About:
cpm is a command-line tool designed for rapid installation of CPAN modules. It leverages parallelism and caching to significantly speed up the dependency resolution and installation process compared to the standard cpanm. This makes it an essential utility for developers looking to streamline their Perl environment setup.
Key Features:
  • Parallel installation of modules for speed
  • Dependency resolution and installation
  • Caching of distributions to avoid re-downloads
  • Compatibility with cpanm command-line arguments
Use Cases:
  • Setting up a new Perl development environment quickly
  • Installing complex modules with many dependencies in parallel
  • CI/CD pipelines requiring fast, reproducible Perl setups
Alternatives:
  • cpanm – The standard 'cpanminus' tool. cpm is generally faster due to parallelism and better caching.
  • cpan – The original CPAN shell. cpm offers a much simpler interface and superior performance.
