I'm currently replicating an automated install of Catalyst against a fresh 5.8.8. Interestingly, I saw one interesting failure. Catalyst has oodles of dependencies. At some point during the installation of a sub-sub-sub-* dependency, CPAN.pm deleted its downloaded copy of something it was still in the process of installing. I guess CPAN's build caching mechanism doesn't take into account things in the cache that it still cares about. Ooops! Catalyst installed without any other error. Template ignores my settings when it comes to that /usr/local/tt2 stuff. It doesn't succeed when there's no STDIN to ask me questions about the install. Dang. If you read the Makefile.PL, you'll see that you need to specify some PL args like TT_PREFIX which is *different* than any other option. Oh well. Here's my "ultra simple" setup. PERL5LIB is set to ~/.perl/lib. Period. I don't do that arch/version stuff because I don't see a reason to. CPAN/Config.pm (or ~/.cpan/CPAN/Myconfig.pm if you prefer) has its makepl_arg fully specified. *every* lib directory is specified and pegged to ~/.perl/lib. I like being nice to myself so all the scripts and binaries are installed to ~/bin. 'makepl_arg' => q[INSTALLARCHLIB=/home/josh/.perl/lib INSTALLBIN=/home/josh/bin INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/josh/.perl/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/josh/.perl/man/man3 INSTALLPRIVLIB=/home/josh/.perl/lib INSTALLSCRIPT=/home/josh/bin INSTALLSITEARCH=/home/josh/.perl/lib INSTALLSITEBIN=/home/josh/bin INSTALLSITELIB=/home/josh/.perl/lib INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR=/home/josh/.perl/man/man1 INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR=/home/josh/.perl/man/man3 INSTALLVENDORARCH=/home/josh/.perl/lib INSTALLVENDORBIN=/home/josh/bin INSTALLVENDORLIB=/home/josh/.perl/lib INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR=/home/josh/.perl/man/man1 INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR=/home/josh/.perl/man/man3], I could have also set mbuild_arg here too but I chose to use a ~/.modulebuidrc which does the same thing: all the libraries are installed to the same location and all the scripts are installed to my ~/bin. --installpath lib=/home/josh/.perl/lib --installpath arch=/home/josh/.perl/lib --installpath bin=/home/josh/bin --installpath bindoc=/home/josh/.perl/man/man1 --installpath libdoc=/home/josh/.perl/man/man3 It works. It's verbose but it also means I generally don't have to worry about my installs much. Josh
