Re^8: Perl app won't compile /run from cron

Hi OK I have not used cpan correctly.
I have never heard of local::lib or @INC until this thread.
I did find cpan variables in my .bashrc file and removed them.
I did run cpan > o conf init.
There was no option asked that mentioned "bootstrap".
On completion of the command .bashrc remained clear of any perl stuff.

If it isn't a bug it is a bad design. It shouldn't be so difficult to do something so simple.

Dazz

I have never heard of local::lib or @INC until this thread. `@INC` is mentioned in the FAQ, perlrun, the documentation for lib and, of course perlvar. I'm slightly surprised that you've read none of these yet. It shouldn't be so difficult to do something so simple. Where's the difficulty? Just set up your environment properly as outlined in Re: Perl app won't compile /run from cron and you're there.	[reply] [d/l]

It's neither a bug nor bad design. You're using tools without understanding how they work, and then declaring bugs where none exist when things don't work as you imagine they should.	[reply]

Your configuration of the CPAN client and setup does not live in your `.bashrc` file but likely in `~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm`. If you erase that, CPAN will likely ask you again, which install method you prefer for modules.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
