I am trying to use cpanfile with cpanm to install a large list of modules. One of the modules, Unicode :: String, has an error in CPAN, which the author fixed only on Github. ( https://github.com/msouth/Unicode-String )
Is it possible to list the Github repository as a requirement in a cpanfile and install cpanm from there, and not from CPAN? If so, why is this the correct syntax?
The closest I found a stream from 2013, where Miyagawa said that he was coming in a future release, and then that the future release was fragile and held:
https://github.com/perl-carton/carton/issues/132
(This discusses the box, but since they both use cpanfile, the syntax should be the same.)
