Re^2: cpanm under PerlBrew instance chokes trying to install all these

Hi ikegami. Thanks for the interest. It's going to be impossible for me to provide the original error messages because I've had to endure a Windows shutdown / restart (the monthly crap) and in the process lost the terminal where the output appeared—I was connected to the linux system over ssh.

I'll do what I can to reproduce the results I saw, later.


~$ type -p cpanm
/usr/local/bin/cpanm

~$ head -1 "$( type -p cpanm )"
#!/usr/bin/env perl

~$ type -p perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

That's what's happening today on the Linux box in question. I'm having an amnesia-belabored day and hoping that what I was doing several days ago will just come back to me.

Just run the command again! (I also think cpanm saves the output to disk.) Also, your info is inconsistent. You previously claimed to be using `/home/somian/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.42.0/bin/perl`, but you now say you're using `/usr/local/bin/perl`. Which is it?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

"(I also think cpanm saves the output to disk.)"
