This is why I clear out my testers fairly regularly (well, that and it saves disk space, and means that I'm more likely to catch bugs where an author doesn't declare all his pre-reqs). At the start of a day's testing, I un-tar a known good build of perl and CPAN.pm config. Then at the end of the day, I blow that away, so that there's always a clean startup the next day. -- David Cantrell | A machine for turning tea into grumpiness Graecum est; non legitur
