| Subject: | Config.pm specifies incorrect filename for user-configuration file |
The Config.pm built by cpan reports that that "user-config file is being looked for" is
~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
At least on OS X, this is incorrect and misleading; the correct file is
~/Library/Application Support/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
(Because HandleConfig::home() returns the directory ~/Library/Application Support/.cpan.)
The attached patch fixes this.
See also #26912.
