[kw-pm] CPAN question

I have forgotten a few things I picked up from the last KW-PM meeting, I was 
hoping someone could refresh my memory.

'test packagename' will download, build and test a package.  I can then drop 
to a shell and install it myself with CheckInstall.  This is not a problem.

Question 1 deals with dependencies...  I have the CPAN module configured to 
ask to follow deps...  now if I 'test packagename' and it needs package 
'foo' -- will it just build and test package 'foo' or will it install it in 
order to be able to build and test package 'packagename'?  

Regards,
Andrew
