cpm is yet another CPAN client, whose primary feature is fastness. Now I'm excited to announce that cpm version 1.0 is coming soon!
First, I am going to show you the basic features of cpm and what makes cpm fast.
Here you'll see how cpm uses the system calls fork/pipe/select to parallelize CPAN module installation effectively.
Then we will see the changes in cpm 1.0.
cpm 1.0 will manage "CPAN distributions" rather than "CPAN modules".
MIYAGAWA has introduced a concept "central repositories" in his project Carmel. I think this is the right way.
So what happens if we apply this concept to cpm?
