This exposes your system to any bugs in the test suite (an accidental `rm -rf /` has happened before) with root privileges. With a modern CPAN client, you can set it to use sudo only at install time with the make_install_make_command and mbuild_install_build_command knobs. http://learnperl.scratchcomputing.com/tutorials/configuration/ --Eric -- perl -e 'srand; print join(" ",sort({rand() < 0.5} qw(sometimes it is important to be consistent)));' --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
