Hi Folks

(A quiet list is a good list :-).

Because of this curiosity:

ron@zoe:~/perl.modules$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install YAML'
Can't locate object method "install" via package "YAML" at -e line 1.
ron@zoe:~/perl.modules$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install YAML::Syck'
Can't locate object method "install" via package "YAML::Syck" at -e line
1.
ron@zoe:~/perl.modules$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install CPAN::Mini'
CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok (v0.66)
...etc...

it's not clear to me how to optionally install YAML and YAML::Syck after
asking the user if they want to. Or are these modules designed
deliberately to disallow that?

Seeking clarification.
