Hola,
You can set that in your CPAN config I guess:
% locate Config.pm | grep CPAN
mine is:
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/CPAN/Config.pm

I found a partial solution. If you open the CPAN shell and type:
o conf makepl_arg install_base=
it will install working modules. This is a partial solution because it
has to be done with each session. It doesn't work to run cpan non-
interactively. It forgets this setting when the CPAN shell is closed.
I have not yet found where it gets the default value for this
variable.
Now, I'm off on a search to find why I get an error from Growl.pm on a
variable that it is getting from itself, but that's a topic for a
different thread.

Hi, I am interested in (possibly) using Mac::Growl from Perl. Have
you gotten it working and or do you have some pointers for me?
Thanks,

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I searched and didn't see

I'm new to Perl and newer to Perl on Mac, but I thought I understood
CPAN and use. I installed Mac::Growl using CPAN from the command
line.
I'm using the Perl distro included with Leopard. My program contains
the following lines:
use Mac::Growl ':all';
BEGIN { $Mac::Growl::base = 'Mac::Applescript' }
(I've tried it with the lines reversed with the same results. Just
reaching with no clue.)
I get this error when I run it:
Can't locate Mac/Growl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/

CPAN seems to be writing files to /var/root/perl/lib/perl5/Extras/
5.8.8/, but there isn't anything in /var/root/. I've searched for it
with find and mdfind. I can't find where modules are being installed
and neither can Perl. How can I get CPAN to install to somewhere in
@INC?
