It looks like you are right. Not so surprisingly I don't have an executable a.pl anywhere in my path but I have such a Makefile.PL in the pugs directory. (on more good reason for the CPANTS metric checking for *not* executable Makefile.PL :-) This is the reason I could not install CPANPLUS as first thing it does in Makefile.PL it calls chdir $FindBin::Bin thanks Gabor
