Bug #110331 for CPAN-Site: Missing authors dir

Mon Dec 14 11:53:37 2015 MTHURN [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

I want to create a brand new pure local CPAN. I get this error: # cpansite --site /data/CPAN --stand-alone index fault: cannot copy /data/CPAN/global/01mailrc.txt.gz to /data/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz; No such file or directory You need to mkdir .../authors ?

That should help, yes. I have patched this for the next release.
