Bug #39153 for CPANPLUS: sudo is set inappropriately on perl-5.6.x

Wed Sep 10 05:28:19 2008 chris [...] bingosnet.co.uk - Ticket created

Subject:	sudo is set inappropriately on perl-5.6.x
Date:	Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:27:35 +0100
To:	bug-cpanplus [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Chris Williams <chris [...] bingosnet.co.uk>

Problem exists in CPANPLUS-0.84 and only with perl5.6.x The default configuration seems to set 'sudo' executable even when the perl installation is local and writable by the current user. For instance, user 'cpan', and the perl is in the user's home directory: /home/cpan/rel/perl5.6.2/ Tested on Linux, Darwin and NetBSD. On Linux and Darwin, the sudo conf option gets set to the sudo executable. On NetBSD ( which has no sudo executable ) sudo conf option is set to '' With other versions of perl the sudo gets set to undef.

Thanks for reporting; this was a logic error that set sudo incorrectly for 5.6 if a config variable that is only present in 5.8 and onwards was undefined. This is now fixed.
