Description Chris Weyl 2006-07-02 20:15:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
CPANPLUS has a default directory of '/buildroot/.cpanplus', which causes Bad
Things to happen when apps try to use CPANPLUS without expliticly overriding. 
(e.g. scandeps.pl from perl-Module-ScanDeps)

Would it be possible to tweak Config.pm to alter the default behavior to, say,
$ENV{HOME}/.cpanplus, to make it more in line with the way perl(CPAN) does it? 

File: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/CPANPLUS/Config.pm
Line: 74
Comment 1 Steven Pritchard 2006-07-03 22:39:09 UTC 
Does changing the line

 'base' => '/builddir/.cpanplus',

to

 'base' => "$ENV{HOME}/.cpanplus",

seem to work properly?
Comment 2 Chris Weyl 2006-07-04 00:18:56 UTC 
Yes.
Comment 3 Chris Weyl 2007-02-19 17:52:00 UTC 
Long since fixed, so closing to get it off my frontpage :)
