Subject: Bootstrapping CPANPLUS
Since I had to try 5.8.2-RC2 anyway, I decided to try to produce a CPANPLUS 'bootstrap' procedure. This is how I did it. Note that this procedure is slightly more complicated that it has to be, due to the fact that this system is behind a strict firewall that only allows proxy access. All stepes are executed as super user. Starting point is a brand new install of Perl (in this case, 5.8.2 RC2). # perl -MCPAN -e shell Configure: passive FTP, ftp_proxy, http_proxy. Install LWP and its dependencies Install IPC::Run Install CPANPLUS Configure: passive FTP. Note that CPANPLUS does not provide for proxy settings.

[Second part (the first poart got transmitted too early...)] At your convenience, let CPANPLUS add Archive tar and friends. Also advised it to install Module::Build and so. This completes the setup. Now we can use CPANPLUS: # env ftp_proxy=... http_proxy=... perl -MCPANPLUS -e shell Happy hacking!
