So, here's what my lib/5.8.7 looked like before maintperl "make install":
localhost:..erl/snap/lib/5.8.7 % ls -ld **/List/Util* -r--r--r-- 1 merlyn wheel 6598 May 23 07:06 darwin/List/Util.pm drwxr-xr-x 2 merlyn wheel 1024 Sep 17 07:33 darwin/auto/List/Util and after maintperl "make install" localhost:..erl/snap/lib/5.8.7 % ls -ld **/List/Util* -r--r--r-- 1 merlyn wheel 6601 Sep 18 09:33 List/Util.pm -r--r--r-- 1 merlyn wheel 6598 May 23 07:06 darwin/List/Util.pm drwxr-xr-x 2 merlyn wheel 1024 Sep 18 09:33 darwin/auto/List/Util Note the non-XS List/Util.pm is new. Now after cpan-shell "force install List::Util": localhost:..erl/snap/lib/5.8.7 % ls -ld **/List/Util* -r--r--r-- 1 merlyn wheel 6598 May 23 07:06 darwin/List/Util.pm drwxr-xr-x 2 merlyn wheel 1024 Sep 18 09:37 darwin/auto/List/Util This unlinked List/Util.pm (shadowing). Something is not right about the installation of List::Util from maintperl. -- Randal L.
