You can stop right there; RedHat has an insanely long system @INC
which means that certain command exceed kernal shell limit, leading
to this:
Couldn't run Build.PL: Argument list too long at /root/.cpan/build/
Module-Build-0.2801/blib/lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm line 200.
It's a known issue that Ken and Randy are working on, but it's a
tough one to deal with. I don't think there is a workaround at
this time. You may try and do the install outside of cpan, but it
may be that the test will still fail.
Ralph, could you send me the output of this command on your system?
perl -le 'print for @INC'
-Ken
