Before I saw this reply, I went ahead and installed Params::Util from
the perl-params-util package from AUR; that went in fine because the
PKGBUILD has the perl version dependency changed down to simply '5'.
After that, I went back and used cpanp to install Moose and whammo! It
picked up all the necessary dependencies and plugged them all in
without further incident.  So my faith in cpanplus is restored:).
Maybe the version number dependency for Params::Util needs to be
corrected so cpanp can compare it properly?  Not sure how to go about
that though.  Fortunately, that was the only package that held things
up for me.

I sure like the way it grabbed all the dependencies for me now.
thanks for the recommendation for this package.
