Yes, you can work around some of that stuff by environment variables. My thinking was more along the lines of a standard setup.

Also, it would be great to have an option in the cpan shell config to just set those whenever calling the shell for installing a dist. At least, i haven't seen an option like this.

perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
