Unfortunately the current perl_vendor install is so broken cpan won't allow you to fix it with simple "install" unless you know the exact missing modules and just breaks in some very strange and random ways. Like missing protocol for ftp in LWP However the perl_vendor was created it resulted in many missing dependencies. I don't mind a block install via perl_vendor but each module installed by that option should include all of its dependencies otherwise its worse than having nothing at all. We'd already updated Bundle::LWP via CPAN but its the dependencies of the dependencies which are missing so they didn't get fixed. Our fix in the end, so others know, was to use:- force install LWP::Protocol::ftp This seemed to force all dependencies in the hierarchy to be rechecked and hence picked up and installed the missing modules.
