Subject: Error message: Use of uninitialized value $_ in concatenation (.) or string at .../CPAN/HandleConfig.pm line 523.
You don't have to have $ENV{HOME} - most Windows systems don't. If not, then this error happens. To solve this, line 521 of CPAN::HandleConfig needs to be: push @dirs, $ENV{HOME} if $ENV{HOME}; or something of the like.

Thanks. I've patched that in my repo (and added some other things like HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH) and will send a pull request to Andreas. -- David
