How do I stop cpan from reconfiguring each time? + More
- by Leonard
I'm running on a Mac (version 10.6.3) and am struggling to understand what is going on with my Perl installation.
I let the system do a copy from my previous mac, and I appear to have a second perl installed, which appears earlier in my path. I can't tell (or remember) if I might have installed it with fink, macports or CPAN or what.
type -a cpan
cpan is /opt/local/bin/cpan
cpan is /usr/bin/cpan
I'm seeing two oddities. (To start with!) When I run cpan, and let it configure in ~lcuff/.cpan, each time I run it, it wants to reconfigure, giving the message:
Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to
some missing parameters...
Also, when I try to install File::Find::Rule (so I can list my CPAN modules, per the FAQ) I end up with an error message that I can't decipher or Google a solution for:
