Subject: | CPAN requires File::HomeDir, but File::HomeDir is not a core module |
Invoking cpan under Perl 5.13.9 (out of the box) gives me
$ cpan
File::HomeDir not installed. Please install it or try 'o conf init
use_file_homedir'
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
File::HomeDir not installed. Please install it or try 'o conf init
use_file_homedir'
It appears that unless I have File::HomeDir installed (and it isn't
under 5.13.9 out of the box) I can't configure CPAN to not use it.
The bundled version of CPAN with Perl 5.13.9 is
$ perl -MCPAN -E 'say CPAN->VERSION'
1.9463
This appears not to have been a problem with 1.9462, which shipped with
Perl 5.13.8.
