Subject: bootstrap problem with Leopard
I've been trying local::lib bootstrap on Leopard with vanilla installation of perl, and have been having a hard time. I don't have time to describe the whole problem, but basically what happens is this. CPAN.pm first tries to configure CPAN without File::HomeDir, so CPAN configuration and preference is saved under ~/.cpan but at some point File::HomeDir is installed, and my_data directory now returns ~/Library/Application Support/.cpan so I need to recofnigure CPAN again, which is a pain because --bootstrap option is now off.

This is an issue with File::HomeDir more than it is with local::lib. Schwern decided that it should treat OS X differently than Unix. Please take this up with the File::HomeDir crew.
