Re: cpan home

There seems to be no documented way, but looking at CPAN::HandleConfig::require_myconfig_or_config, the following could work (likely you want that as a separate script or alias):

perl -e "require '~/.cpan/MyConfig.$(uname).pm'; $INC{'CPAN/MyConfig.p
+m'}=1" -MCPAN -eshell
[download]

Likely, your ~/.cpan/MyConfig.linux.pm should look like

package CPAN::MyConfig;
... options as in the common CPAN::MyConfig

Thanks for the quick reply. I gave that a try but hit a slight error. `perl -e "require '~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.$(uname).pm'; $INC{'CPAN/MyCon +fig.pm'}=1" -MCPAN -e shell Semicolon seems to be missing at -e line 1. syntax error at -e line 1, near "}=" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Put it in a file `$ cat mcpan #!/usr/bin/perl -- require $INC{'CPAN/MyConfig.pm'} = ...; require CPAN; CPAN::shell();` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
