I need to reinstall the dependencies of a CPAN module. Some dependencies which are usually installed are missing but the package itself is up to date to cpan.

So how can i still install the dependencies?

Be forceful.

From cpan command-line application:

$ cpan -f -i Module::With::Dependencies

From CPAN shell:

cpan[1]> force install Module::With::Dependencies
