in reply to non-root CPAN with cPanel does not untar

Maybe install ptar and configure CPAN to use that? Have you had any success with XS modules yet?

    Yes. If I manually (using the extract feature of cPanel) extract the tar and then run the (via cron) script
    #!/bin/bash echo cd ~/.cpan/build/GAAS-fwrgdL/MIME-Base64-Perl-1.00 cd ~/.cpan/build/GAAS-fwrgdL/MIME-Base64-Perl-1.00 echo perl Makefile.PL -INSTALL_BASE=~ perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~ echo make install make install
    which gives the following email:
    cd /home/washburn/.cpan/build/GAAS-fwrgdL/MIME-Base64-Perl-1.00 perl Makefile.PL -INSTALL_BASE=~ Writing Makefile for MIME::Base64::Perl make install Manifying blib/man3/MIME::QuotedPrint::Perl.3pm Manifying blib/man3/MIME::Base64::Perl.3pm Appending installation info + to /home/washburn/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod No virus found in this incoming message.
    The problem was I was not pointing to the tar program. See my response below. I hope my problem here will help others in the future.
