Subject:

Install paths differ from default perl 5.10 @INC

Hi! Somehow CPAN.pm installs itself and other modules into other directories than a default @INC contains. Therefore after updating CPAN.pm it is not found. I did: # install a Perl 5.10 PREFIX=/opt/foo tar xzf perl-5.10.0.tar.gz cd perl-5.10.0 make distclean sh Configure -des -Dprefix=$PREFIX -Duserelocatableinc make -j17 make test time make install /opt/foo/bin/perl -V [...] @INC: /opt/artemis.Linux.x86_64/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux /opt/artemis.Linux.x86_64/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /opt/artemis.Linux.x86_64/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux /opt/artemis.Linux.x86_64/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 . export PERL_AUTOINSTALL="--defaultdeps" # configure CPAN.pm by overwriting its Config # # I will attach my default_CPAN_Config.pm to the bug, but it # basically only configures a MINICPAN repo, PREFIX and UNINST. # cpancfg=`find $PREFIX/lib/ -name Config.pm | grep 'CPAN\/Config.pm'` cp $builddir/default_CPAN_Config.pm $cpancfg $PREFIX/bin/cpan CPAN BUMMER! Now the new CPAN.pm is outside @INC: find /opt/foo/lib/ -name CPAN.pm ==> /opt/foo/lib/perl5/CPAN.pm That also happens with other modules. It just "bummers" more with CPAN.pm itself. :-) Thanks.

I could imagine the removal of this line: 'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=/opt/foo.Linux.x86_64], would do the trick. It's more an instinctive reaction, I have not tried PREFIX and relocateableinc together. Even worse: I have not used PREFIX for 12 years or so. But I see this line as a useless attempt to force things going that would probably othewise just do the right thing. I may be wrong. Please note that CPAN shell itself does no install, not even of itself. MakeMaker does.

Yep, it works. Show quoted text

Indeed. You are right. Sorry for spamming you bugcounter. At least I got the correct solution in lightning speed. :-) Thanks. I close the bug. Steffen -- Steffen Schwigon <ss5@renormalist.net> Dresden Perl Mongers <http://dresden-pm.org/> Deutscher Perl-Workshop <http://www.perl-workshop.de/>
