Subject: Bad option defaulting from command line
Tried installing Test::Warn from the command line. A empty line was printed. The transcript below shows that I just needed to define $CPAN::Config->{unzip} to 'unzip' from undef. The CPAN client must report useful errors in the first case but does not. Using perl-5.11.3 commit 9c3f2640bc47839fced0ccc78bae4b814ae82e97. $ cpan Test::Warn $ cpan cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.945301) Enter 'h' for help. cpan[1]> install Test::Warn Going to read '/Users/jbenjore/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:39:49 GMT Running install for module 'Test::Warn' 'YAML' not installed, falling back to Data::Dumper and Storable to read prefs '/Users/jbenjore/.cpan/prefs' Running make for C/CH/CHORNY/Test-Warn-0.21.zip Checksum for /Users/jbenjore/.cpan/sources/authors/id/C/CH/CHORNY/Test-Warn-0.21.zip ok Scanning cache /Users/jbenjore/.cpan/build for sizes ............................................................................DONE Cannot unzip, no unzip program available cpan[2]> No history written (no histfile specified). Lockfile removed.
This has been fixed in CPAN-1.94_54. Same bug as in ticket 53305.
