Subject: fails to test/install with non-default config install
On Mac OS X (10.3.4), Perl 5.8.1-RC4, CPANPLUS gets into an odd loop if you select ~/.cpanplus as the config directory. If I do this, the tests hang at t.backend/3 (of 73), apparently waiting for a readline that never completes. This seems to be a red herring of sorts. What finally worked is simply installing CPANPLUS with *all* the defaults. This is irritating because it means that I have to either build CPANPLUS as root, or first create /Library/Perl/5.8.1/CPANPLUS and make it owned by me. It's also irritating because the prompts *say* that I can have a local .cpanplus config, but it's not true. :(

Ehm, i have a mac, with the same perl, and tried the same thing (running a local) config and it works Just Fine for me.. did you remember to set the environment variable like the installer tells you? if so, can you send me back the complete scrollback of your setup + make test TEST_VERBOSE=1?

It'd also be nice if you only create a ticket once. -- Jos Boumans "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you make too much money" CPANPLUS http://cpanplus.sf.net

suggestion taken, the require code now says: ### check it has length, and is an actual file ### if ( defined $ENV{$env} and length $ENV{$env} and -f $ENV{$env} and -s _ ) { eval{ load $ENV{$env} }; $tried++; $INC{'CPANPLUS/Config.pm'} = $ENV{$env} unless $@; }
