Hi Jay,

The error you're getting from cpanplus must be cpanplus's fault - as you'll see if you unpack the Module-Build tarball manually, there's no _build/ directory or Build file present. It must be trying to check the signature after performing some of the build steps.

The "Argument list too long" error is indeed something I've seen before, but I have NO idea what's going on there. I haven't been able to reproduce it, I don't know what context it appears under, any troubleshooting help you could offer would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to build Mason which needs Module::Build.

I can't get Module::Build to install via cpanplus.

Environment is Centos 4.3 (RHEL).

Here is the output when I try and build:

Is CPAN not up-to-date or something?

I have also seen this error, but not lately:
Couldn't run Build.PL: Argument list too long at
/root/.cpanplus/5.8.5/build/Module-Build-0.2804/blib/lib/Module/ Build/Compat.pm
line 200

There was a brief mention of this error in the list archives, but no
solutiuon. I am currently stuck with the preceeding error.
