Howdy, In case it's of interest to anyone:
I regularly install new OS X systems with Fink and a large handful of perl modules from CPAN for my company's work environment. I install some libraries and perl libs through Fink first, then I use CPAN to install a bunch of other modules (we use the Apple-supplied perl, mod_perl and apache). Yesterday I started to perform another such install, and CPAN just would not pickup the modules/libraries installed by fink. I was stumped until I figured the only thing "different" from every pervious install was the recent 10.4.9 update. I looked into it and sure enough, the latest update contains a new version of sudo, which now sanitizes various environment variables pertaining to perl. In this case, Fink is affected by the removal of $PERL5LIB. I wrote some more details, including how to defeat this new sudo "feature" and posted them here: http://jwadmin.blogspot.com/2007/03/apples-mac-1049-update-breaks-cpan.html I'm probably the last person to figure this out, but I didn't see any other discussion about it on the list so I thought I'd share my discovery, in case anyone else runs into the same problem. -- ---------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - System Administrator - Cedar Creek Software www.cedarcreeksoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
