Subject: Bundle::CPAN v1.70 fails to build, can't find pod2man
I'm trying to upgrade from CPAN 1.61 to 1.70 on a RH 9.0 host with Perl 5.8.0. install Bundle::CPAN fails with a message that it couldn't find pod2man on the path. It looks like the POD2MAN_EXE line in the generated makefile is munged. It reads: POD2MAN_EXE = -S pod2man it should read: POD2MAN_EXE = /usr/bin/pod2man shouldn't it? Can I work around this by doing a make install in the CPAN-1.70 build directory outside of running a CPAN shell or will that screw up CPAN's view of which modules are installed?
