Subject: Broken install: installdir fixed
Why does the distribution want to be installed to /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 ? My CPAN diretory is in my home directory, not in /usr/local. I have no problem with install of other modules. Here is the output from my attempted install with CPAN: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Running make for A/AD/ADAMK/Test-SubCalls-0.02.tar.gz Is already unwrapped into directory /home/dolmen/.cpan/build/Test-SubCalls-0.02 CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AD/ADAMK/Test-SubCalls-0.02.tar.gz /usr/bin/perl -Iinc Makefile.PL --config= --installdeps=Test::Builder::Tester,1.02,Test::More,0.60,Hook::LexWrap,0.20 *** Installing dependencies... *** You are not allowed to write to the directory '/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7'; the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions. ==> Should we try to re-execute the autoinstall process with 'sudo'?

RT-Send-Cc:
There's nothing specific at all in the module that might do that. It might be due to your installer interacting badly with Module::Install... try installing something else of mine like CSS::Tiny and see what happens. Adam K Guest via RT wrote: Show quoted text

CSS::Tiny was installed without problem. The issue seems to be in Module::Install. I'll discuss with its author. Olivier Mengué.
