by the way this fails because it appears to assume "traditional unix" has a Desktop directory which isn't always the case... especially servers with no GUI

It also assumes the following directories: $HOME/Music $HOME/Pictures $HOME/Videos And who knows what else. I didn't have any of those directories, and it complained about all of those. When I added them, the install proceeded normally.

I'm seeing the same thing. As is, this test will be a big a problem. This test is faulty. specifically, I'm failing to load: not ok 44 - Our desktop directory exists not ok 45 - Our desktop directory exists For me this is because I was running this under `sudo su`, which changes the $ENV{HOME}, observe: $ sudo su # echo $HOME /root # exit $ sudo echo $HOME /home/ecarroll So, for me if I ran `sudo cpanp install File::HomeDir` it would work, but not `sudo su; cpanp install File::HomeDir`. This is kind of confusing. This can be patched if you simply check to make sure the SUDO_USER is not different from the running user, if it is different then we probably shouldn't assume the running user has a home directory. I imagine 99.9% of `sudo` cases are to `su`. Here is a patch for t/02_main.t:93 : } else { # Default to traditional Unix $HAVEHOME = 1; if ( $ENV{SUDO_USER} != [getpwuid($<)]->[0] ) { $HAVEDESKTOP = 1; $HAVEMUSIC = 1; $HAVEVIDEOS = 1; $HAVEOTHERS = 1; } } -- Evan Carroll System Lord of the Internets http://www.evancarroll.com

I think the last of these assumptions are gone now, reopen if issue persists past 0.96_02
