How do I setup CPAN.pm to work with both MakeMaker and Module::Build?
I want to install *all* modules locally using CPAN.pm.
'makepl_arg' => q[INSTALLDIRS=site PREFIX=/home/moseley/local],
You have a couple options here if you install recent-enough versions of
M::B and/or MakeMaker. The recent betas of M::B support --prefix,
which is the same as MakeMaker's PREFIX, and the latest versions
(betas?) of MakeMaker support INSTALL_BASE, which is the same as M::B's
--install_base.
Yet, if I use:
'makepl_arg' => q[INSTALLDIRS=site
install_base=/home/moseley/local],
Then installs fail due to "bin" not being based on the install_base.
I'm not sure I understand this - could you elaborate on how it fails?
Is this using Module::Build or using MakeMaker?
