Bug #45010 for CPANPLUS-Dist-Build: CPAN version masked by old core version

Mon Apr 13 16:00:48 2009 jdhedden [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

CPAN version masked by old core version

CPANPLUS::Dist::Build has been in core since 5.9.5. By default the CPAN version installed in site_perl. As a result, the new CPAN version is masked by the old core version. The installdirs directive in Makefile.PL appears to be broken.

Attached patch for the Makefile.PL file fixes this.

Thanks for pointing out the installdirs problem. I've resolved the issue by explicitly calling the applicable 'install_as' directives rather than depending on the slightly opaque behaviour of 'installdirs'. if ( $] >= 5.009005 ) { install_as_core; } else { install_as_site; } Fixed as of version 0.22 0.22 Tue Apr 14 11:01:12 BST 2009 - Fix the installdirs in Makefile.PL Many thanks, Chris Williams
