| Subject: | Recursive Prerequisites CPANPLUS requires CPANPLUS::Shell::Default |
Dear Jos Boumans,
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I found that, while I was
installing CPANPLUS-0.78 on my newly-install system with CPAN, it enters
an infinite loop that requires CPANPLUS::Shell::Default to install
CPANPLUS. But your Makefile.PL is a little complicated. I cannot
figure out why it is so.
The terminal log is attached below. Hope that it helps. Please
tell me if you need any more information. Thank you.

### IMPORTANT! ######################################################
As of CPANPLUS 0.070, configuration during 'perl Makefile.PL'
is no longer required. A default config is now shipped that
should work out of the box on most machines, for priviliged
and unprivileged users.
If you wish to configure CPANPLUS to your environment, you can
either do that from the interactive shell after installation:
$ cpanp
CPAN Terminal> s conf user # per user config
CPAN Terminal> s conf system # system wide config
Or you can invoke this program as follows, to do it now:
$ /opt/perl/5.8.8/bin/perl Makefile.PL --setup
This also means that any config created by any CPANPLUS older
than 0.070 will no longer work, and you are required to
reconfigure. See the ChangeLog file for details.
We appologize for the inconvenience.
### PLEASE NOTE ###################################################
Since CPANPLUS 0.050 has a few prerequisites that are not core
perl (yet), they are bundled with the distribution for boot-
strapping purposes.
You should install these prerequisites before continueing to
install CPANPLUS. You can use the bootstrapped CPANPLUS to do
this for you with the following commands:
/opt/perl/5.8.8/bin/perl bin/cpanp-boxed -s selfupdate dependencies
/opt/perl/5.8.8/bin/perl bin/cpanp-boxed -s selfupdate enabled_features
Or let your package manager take care of it.
