Re^2: cpan on mac os x yosemite

Thanks Anonymous -- that worked. No idea how though. The TERM variable changes from xterm-256color to dumb and my alias ls='ls -GpF -h' does not give color output anymore, but cpan is now visible. And thanks for the post crosslinking tip.

Well :) you could always set term=dumb for perl only through perl options PERL5OPT / sitecustomize... even CPAN/MyConfig.pm ... after all its just an %ENV entry Also, depending on which Term::ReadLine:: you got there might be hints in the bug queue , rt://Term-ReadLine-Perl... or you might submit a bug report	[reply]

I have installed Term::Readline::Perl; btw did not find any existing bug reports similar to what I have. Adding `term => q[dumb]` to MyConfig.pm does not help. Setting `term_ornaments => q[0]` returns visibility to a cpan shell, but only `export TERM=dumb` fixes the issue for both cpan and perl debugger.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If anyone is interested, setting `$ENV{TERM} = q[dumb];` in CPAN/MyConfig.pm and in /System/Library/Perl/5.18/perl5db.pl (need sudo here) restores expected behavior to both cpan and debugger shells. I lost readline/history functionality but that is less important. Thanks again!	[reply] [d/l]

Also, `export TERM=dumb` does not play nice with vim.	[reply] [d/l]
