in reply to CPANPLUS intall and config question

PERL5_CPANPLUS_CONFIG is a shell variable, not a Perl variable. So, set it in your shell: 

# If you are using a Bourne shell:
PERL5_CPANPLUS_CONFIG=/usr/home/user_name/.cpanplus/config
export PERL5_CPANPLUS_CONFIG

# If you are using a C shell:
setenv PERL5_CPANPLUS_CONFIG /usr/home/user_name/.cpanplus/config

print "Just another Perl ${\(trickster and hacker)},"
The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!
