Subject: CPANPLUS cryptic configuration instructions
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 16:37:46 -0400 (EDT)
To: bug-cpanplus [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Andy Dougherty <doughera [...] lafayette.edu>
While testing CPANPLUS on my bleadperl test directory, I ran into the following problem. I built and installed bleadperl into a dedicated directory. I then ran cpanp5.9.5 and told it to i CPANPLUS Along the way, CPANPLUS advised me: 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 I installed CPANPLUS, quit, restarted cpanp, and typed s conf user I got the message: [ERROR] No such key 'user' in field 'conf' In the help menu, I do ses an entry s edit [user|system] # open configuration file in editor and reload but that's not helpful either. 's edit user' simply opens up a blank editor window. I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to type in there. -- Andy Dougherty doughera@lafayette.edu

This is a situation where the hint in the Makefile.PL wasn't updated when the shell command changed. This has now been fixed, thanks for reporting. For future reference, please include the version of CPANPLUS you are running, as well as a perl -v, or perl -V if appropriate. Thanks,
