Description of problem: The perl-homedir rpm installs /etc/profile.d/perl-homedir.sh . Even when setting the variable PERL_HOMEDIR to 0 in /etc/sysconfig/perl-homedir or in $HOME/.perl-homedir, the perl5/ directory would still be created for all the users of the system (root ? postgres ?) Looking at the script, it contains the line: alias perlll="eval `perl -Mlocal::lib`" and I believe this will execute `perl -Mlocal::lib` for all users unconditionally. Commenting out this line prevents the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.008004-2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the rpm ("yum install perl-homedir") 2. Configure the package not to create local directories ("echo PERL_HOMEDIR=0 > /etc/sysconfig/perl-homedir") 2. su to root ("su - root") 3. notice that /root/perl5 has been created Actual results: $HOME/perl5 is always created Expected results: $HOME/perl5 should be created only when it is wanted Additional info: the Brazilian big-eyed bat is one of only two species of bat in the world to chew the seeds of figs
