Re^2: Database, session example in rockway book

I think you mean sudo cpan DBIC::Session.

After the horror several few years back where cpan install actually installed a module called "install"... a big, peculiar module, with odd dependencies... cpan was improved to kick out the following error instead:

It looks like you specified 'install' as an argument to cpan(1). This
script is not the CPAN.pm prompt and doesn't understand the same comma
+nds.
In fact, doesn't require the extra typing. You probably just want to
list the modules you want to install...

Given that I always do `/path/to/perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBIC::Session'` (due to the fact that I always have several Perl builds laying about and I like being absolutely sure which one I'm working with), I don't know the actual arguments to the cpan script. :-) My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply] [d/l]
