Re^2: cpan> o conf settings

Hi Ikegami,

Thanks for your post.

I don't think anything else changes the settings, but I always use the form:

$ cpan -i My::Mod
[download]

So it comes in and out of cpan. This makes it easier for me to maintain the code. In fact I should probably turn it into a single Perl script, so I can standardise the error handling, and resume from the point of any crashes.

Thanks again.

Regards

Steve

I don't think anything else changes the settings, Then you don't need to run any of the commands you specified. `o conf commit` specifically instructs `cpan` to remember the changes you made.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi Ikegami, Then you don't need to run any of the commands you specified Well if I don't run: `cpan> o conf build_requires_install_policy yes cpan> o conf prerequisites_policy follow` [download] I have to sit there and hit <enter> all day, unless you have an alternative answer :) Regards Steve	[reply] [d/l]

If you're not changing the configuration file, then you should be getting an error message If you are changing the configuration file, then you need to do it only once If you are changing it but you need to do it every time, then somebody else is also changing it after you change it I suggest you figure it out :)	[reply]

I have to sit there and hit `<enter>` all day No, you don't. You said you use `o conf commit` and that nothing changes the settings back, so `o conf build_requires_install_policy yes` and `o conf prerequisites_policy follow` are no-ops after the first time.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
