Hello,
The CPAN command:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
fails with:
Cannot open /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm
at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 1219

CPAN::Config::load('CPAN::Config') called at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 92
CPAN::shell() called at -e line 1
It looks like it is trying to write to a file
owned by
Administrator. Is there a workaround to install
modules as a user?
After a *very* quick look at CPAN.pm, it looks
like your
CPAN/Config.pm is incomplete, so it tries to
rebuild it, but trips up
because it is not expecting the Config.pm file to
not be writable when
the CPAN/ directory is writable.
This is IMO a CPAN bug.
It's more complicated than that; I wasn't able to
duplicate this with a
writable CPAN dir and a non-writable CPAN/Config.pm.
If the CPAN dir
is writable, CPAN.pm will unlink CPAN/Config.pm.bak,
rename CPAN/Config.pm
to CPAN/Config.pm.bak, and try to create a new
CPAN/Config.pm. I am
unable to envision how you could have permissions
set so that this wouldn't
succeed.
The directory has full permissions for me, and the
file Config.pm has only read permission.
You can find out what's missing by:
perl -MCPAN::Config -MCPAN -wle'print for
CPAN::Config-missing_config_data'
Ouf of curiousity, what was missing? Was the
CPAN/Config.pm just the
original 3 byte stub?
Yes, the file had just 3 bytes in it. I managed to
compile one package after performing the workaround,
but it tried to install in the system directory, with
partial success (appending to some pod files failed).
What do people here use to install perl modules (other
than CPAN)?
TIA.
