or, for those of us using bash: eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib) I have that line in my .bashrc It also does some other things like setting up a .modulebuildrc file and making the necessary directory structure so things install OK. One still needs to run the cpan command and do an 'o conf init' and manually make sure all the cpan dirs are someplace writable! Me, I just keep around my own MyConfig.pm with everything already set. -- -- Steve Scaffidi <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
