This is basically what the new -j switch to cpan does, although it doesn't try to figure out if the configuration you load is valid yet. In the git repo (http://github.com/briandfoy/cpan-script/tree/app) I'm currently working in the app branch because I'm moving it to the App::Cpan set-up and I'm working on the test suite. The script mostly works as far as I can tell because I've been using it even while it is in development. Try this (after make, etc) in the dev dir: # dump the current config $ perl -Mblib script/cpan -J > MyConf.pm # change then load the current config # it should dump you into the shell, or you can give it some other command $ perl -Mblib script/cpan -j MyConf.pm # load and dump, to see if it all worked. $ perl -Mblib script/cpan -j MyConf.pm -J -- brian d foy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
