Subject: In a disconnected minicpan situation, CPAN::SQLite dies.
[I'm building Perl::Dist::Bootstrap with a minicpan and no connection to the Internet in preparation for the next beta version of Strawberry. Because of that, the index files were never downloaded.] Here is the STDERR output of the first module after installing CPAN::SQLite: Creating database file ... Gathering information from index files ... Use of uninitialized value $mailrc in -f at C:\bootperl\perl\site\lib/CPAN/SQLite/Info.pm line 175. Use of uninitialized value $mailrc in concatenation (.) or string at C:\bootperl\perl\site\lib/CPAN/SQLite/Info.pm line 175. Cannot find '' at C:\bootperl\perl\site\lib/CPAN/SQLite/Info.pm line 175. system C:\bootperl\perl\bin\perl.exe -MCPAN::SQLite::META qw(setup update) -e setup failed: 512 at C:\bootperl\perl\site\lib/CPAN/SQLite/META.pm line 323.
Thanks for the report. I've added in some more useful diagnostic messages in the cases that the index files aren't fetchable, but ultimately, I think CPAN::SQLite should die, as it's not going to be able to provide any information without the indices.
