The CPAN module automates or at least simplifies the make and install of perl modules and extensions. It includes some primitive searching capabilities and knows how to use LWP, HTTP::Tiny, Net::FTP and certain external download clients to fetch distributions from the net. The CPAN module also supports named and versioned bundles of modules. Bundles simplify handling of sets of related modules.
Security Fix(es):
CPAN.pm before 2.35 does not verify TLS certificates when downloading distributions over HTTPS.(CVE-2023-31484)
