I can install it with "cpan -f Inline < /dev/null", but that is less than optimal. The problem seems to be the same one as reported here: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=65703 The taint test fails because the directory containing 'make' is removed from $ENV{PATH}. It makes sense that this happens, because of course /usr/bin/ is writable by root. But then does that mean it is just unsupported to install through cpan as root on any linux system? If that is the case, I think I would have found more documentation or complaints about that.
Thanks. We need to skip those TAINT checks if run as root or Windows Administrator.
Or is the test script supposed to give away rights, and that is not working for me for some reason?
