Bug #39642 for Module-ScanDeps: potential issue with unexpanded directory names

Sat Sep 27 15:25:33 2008 MARKSTOS [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

potential issue with unexpanded directory names

scandepds.pl contains the following two lines: my $privPath = "$Config::Config{privlib}/$key"; my $archPath = "$Config::Config{archlib}/$key"; 'privlib' and 'archlib' both contain unexpanded paths (which may have a tilde in them), when I think using the expanded path would be less likely to cause a problem. There are corresponding keys for this named 'privlibexp/ and 'archlibexp'. A related discussion about the distinction: http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20061009/004833.html Mark

I'll replace the use of privlib/archlib with the corresponding expanded keys. Best regards, Steffen
