With a fresh installation, the first time I run cpan it offers to configure this for me, and puts the following in my ~/.bashrc: export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="/home/dom/perl5"; export PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base /home/dom/perl5"; export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/home/dom/perl5"; export PERL5LIB="/home/dom/perl5/lib/perl5/i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int:/home/dom/perl5/lib/perl5"; export PATH="/home/dom/perl5/bin:$PATH"; Please could you try moving your ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm out of the way and let me know if the automatically configured approach works for you? -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
