Yeah, the location where CPANPLUS stores it's configuration files, ie. the
.cpanplus/ directory. This is where
it locates the cpansmoke.ini file and puts the cpansmoke.dat.* files that are
the SDBM test report history files.
CPANPLUS usually locates the .cpanplus in $HOME, but it will check the
following ENV vars in order:
APPDATA HOME USERPROFILE WINDIR SYS$LOGIN
On Windows I tend to set APPDATA to something I control, like C:\Strawberry for
Strawberry Perl or C:\Perl for
ActiveState Perl. That way I have separate environments for CPANPLUS on those
two perls.
I also tend to unset APPDATA in my cygwin.bat launcher, so it picks up $HOME
instead of $APPDATA.
