perl 5.36 cpan | tests fail for CPANPLUS

[shawnlaffan]

The CPANPLUS tests are failing in the CPAN step.

I have not yet looked into these. Possibly it needs prereqs or other scripts run (see start of log below test fails).

### IMPORTANT! ######################################################


As of CPANPLUS 0.070, configuration during 'perl Makefile.PL'
is no longer required. A default config is now shipped that
should work out of the box on most machines, for priviliged
and unprivileged users.

If you wish to configure CPANPLUS to your environment, you can
either do that from the interactive shell after installation:

    $ cpanp
    CPAN Terminal> s reconfigure

Or you can invoke this program as follows, to do it now:

    $ C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL --setup

This also means that any config created by any CPANPLUS older
than 0.070 will no longer work, and you are required to
reconfigure. See the ChangeLog file for details.

We appologize for the inconvenience.


### PLEASE NOTE ###################################################

CPANPLUS also ships a 'boxed' cpanp client, so you can run it
out of it's extraction dir, by typing:

    $ perl bin/cpanp-boxed

This may help you with bootstrap issues, or other situations
where you need to use CPANPLUS but can not use a system installation.

You can install all of CPANPLUS' dependencies like this, before
installing CPANPLUS itself by running:

    $ perl bin/cpanp-boxed -s selfupdate dependencies

All the modules bundled are found in the 'inc/bundle' directory. If
you, for whatever reason, wish to not install these from cpan, you
could include them into your environment as such (using tcsh):

    $ setenv PERL5LIB C:/spbuild/msys64/.cpanm/work/1678493856.1956/CPANPLUS-0.9914/inc/bundle

A follow-up question is whether we still need to provide CPANPLUS with Strawberry Perl?

[shawnlaffan]

CPANPLUS is now passing when using cpanm on the 5.36 docker version, probably due to 09df569 (see discussion in #73).

@genio - I'll re-enable it in the builds unless there is reason to not include it any more.

[genio]

hm. While I don't personally use it, for something like cpanplus I'd say we probably need to continue including it if it has been in the past.

[shawnlaffan]

I don't use it either but I think it might be used by some of the cpan testers for reporting.

I've re-enabled it on my system so it will be on the repo when next I push changes.

[shawnlaffan]

Re-enabled in e5a3732 (should really have been in its own commit).

Closing issue.
