| Subject: | module reported as successfully installed after failing from permissions issues |
Hello,
I just tried running cpanp as a non-root user to see what would happen. What I hoped would happen is this:
CPANPLUS would notice: "Oh, you don't have permission to make functional use of this configuration. I'll ask you if you'd like to set up your own configuration for ~user/.cpanplus now".
To test, I arbitarily picked the Util module to install, since I knew it wasn't already installed and I don't use it. What follows is a partial output of that installation attempt.
You can see that there a number of failures due to permissions problems. Yet, ultimately CPANPLUS declares that "All modules installed successfully".
