App::cpm - a fast CPAN module installer
> cpm install Module
THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL.
cpm is a fast CPAN module installer, which uses Menlo in parallel.
Why do we need a new CPAN client?
I used cpanm a lot, and it's totally awesome.
But if your Perl project has hundreds of CPAN module dependencies, then it takes quite a lot of time to install them.
So my motivation is simple: I want to install CPAN modules as fast as possible.
Just an example:
> time cpanm -nq -Lextlib Plack real 0m47.705s > time cpm install Plack real 0m16.629s
This shows cpm is 3x faster than cpanm.
If you all find cpm useful, then cpm should be merged into cpanm 2.0. How exciting!
To merge cpm into cpanm, there are several TODOs:
Win32? - support platforms that do not have fork(2) system call
Logging? - the parallel feature makes log really messy
Your feedback is highly appreciated.
