Hello Will,
I changed /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ExtUtils/Install.pm as you suggested ;
syntax check ok; the lines 109-121 of this file are looking now like follows
:
for (readdir DIR) {
next if $_ eq $Curdir || $_ eq $Updir || $_ eq ".exists";
my $targetdir =
install_rooted_dir($from_to{$source_dir_or_file});
warn "* installing $source_dir_or_file to
$from_to{$source_dir_or_file}\n";
warn "* with PERL_INSTALL_ROOT '$INSTALL_ROOT'\n";
warn "* mkpath($targetdir)\n";
mkpath($targetdir) unless $nonono;
if (!$nonono && !-w $targetdir) {
warn "Warning: You do not have permissions to " .
"install into $from_to{$source_dir_or_file}"
unless $warn_permissions++;
}
}
(Line breaks from my email client)
% cd /Users/mareklaptop/.cpan/build/libwww-perl-5.802
% sudo perl Makefile.PL
% sudo make install
gives this

Is this clear to you, what that means ? Probably the "perl"-link I put in
/usr/bin/ pointing /usr/local/bin/ has not the right rights ?
[markslap:~/.cpan/build/libwww-perl-5.802] mareklap% cd /usr/bin/
[markslap:/usr/bin] mareklap% ls -lF perl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 17 Nov 14:08 perl@ -> /usr/local/bin/perl
hmmmm, looks good ! But I am not a Perl-Unix-Professional as you are :-)
I am very grateful for your help
greetings from Munich - grey out here
