Good Evening,
Wondering what list I should send a question to regarding CPAN modules, in
particular, the intitial config file.
Ignore the rest of this lengthy diatribe if this is not the correct list.
:)
When I loaded my first module, actually a bundle, I used:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Bundle::Bugzilla"'
It then prompted for a series of answers, ranging from what mirror sites I'd
like to use to where gzip, make, etc., are located.
Well, since doing that, I have installed a diffent make and am trying
desperately wanting/trying to tell perl/CPAN this, but not sure exactly how
to go about it. Everytime I run or re-run a module installation, it still
runs from the old location and bombs with errors such as:
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'test'
/usr/ccs/bin/make test --NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Not sure if this is because of a bad make or just a bad database test, but
nonetheless, until I can tell Perl and CPAN where the new version of make
is, I won't be able to make that distinction. (and how can I "force" the
install?)
I see that there are two Config.pm files ( Config.pm and Config.pm~ ) in the
perl installation dir located at:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN
I saw that the make setting is located there and I am about ready to try
just tweaking it manually by editing those files. However, I can't imagine
that's the proper way to do that! Any ideas? Tried install on the
CPAN::FirstTime module, but that just returned an "everything is up-to-date"
Then I did a recompile CPAN::FirstTime module. Went through everything, but
no prompts for locations, mirrors, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!
