cpan> look ModuleName
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$make install
I can install the modules without problem (usually).
However, I need to manually install each dependency.
I've seen this strange thing under 2 Debian systems so I think it is not
a
Debian bug.
Does this happen to you? If yes, how do you solve it?
Thank you.

My Debian steps are:
(as root)
1. Upgrade CPAN (Bundle::CPAN)
2. Upgrade CPANPLUS
3. Upgrade/Install Module::Install
4. Upgrade/Install Module::Build
5. Install local::lib
Well, after upgrading these modules, the installation of other modules seems
to work better with the cpan shell.
(as app user)
6. Install deps for application
I've never had a problem with things not building doing this, but haven't
tried other ways.
Can you tell me more about this last step?
I have tried to put in Makefile.PL:
use FindBin;
use local::lib "$FindBin::Bin/support";
But when I run it, it still tries to write to /var/www which is the home dir
of www-data user (the current user).
So I have also tried removing those 2 lines and doing:
$ perl -Mlocal::lib
Then
$ perl Makefile.PL
But it asked me:
[sudo] password for www-data:
and I must give the root password (and www-data is not in the sudoers
group).
I have tried with another user:
# adduser octavian
# su octavian
$ cd /home/octavian
$ perl -Mlocal::lib
...
$ perl Makefile.PL
But it also asked me:
[sudo] password for octavian:
...when trying to install Catalyst::Runtime, so I must be doing something
wrong.
For the first time I tried to su www-data and use this user because it is
the user used by Apache and if I'd use another user and generate a temporary
file, for example a compiled TT template, when Apache tries to re-write that
file, it gives an error telling that it doesn't have the necessary
permissions to overwrite it.
Thanks.
