Bug #4087 for CPANPLUS: sudo and ExtUtils::AutoInstall

Sun Oct 12 21:32:41 2003 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

sudo and ExtUtils::AutoInstall

The new "sudo make install" option in CPANPLUS is neat, very good to be able to run cpanp not at root. However, ExtUtils::AutoInstall likes to install modules during the "make" phase. When running cpanp as a non-root user this means you cannot install modules that use ExtUtils::AutoInstall to resolve their dependencies. This, ironicly, includes CPANPLUS. It can't update itself. Not sure how to solve this. "sudo make" is wrong. If there was a way for CPANPLUS to detect the use of ExtUtils::AutoInstall and resolve the dependencies itself like any normal module, that would solve the problem neatly.

This is strange. EU::AI definitely has "sudo" support. Can you post your install log? Thanks, /Autrijus/
