There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.87) available!
[Current version is v1.83]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless
upgrade
while we are running...
What I don't understand is how it is meant to be installed "while
we are running"
Yeah, that means that you can upgrade Bundle::CPAN and make the
upgrade effective without quitting the session.
That's worth mentioning because CPAN.pm, who is running the shell, is
already loaded into the interpreter, so a change in the .pms in the
disk has nothing to do with the code already in memory. The message
says CPAN.pm developers did indeed implement a "reload".
Of course, as with any other distribution you can just upgrade
Bundle::CPAN and quit, next time you launch cpan the upgraded CPAN.pm
will run, as usual.
