in thread CPAN shell - passing params for module installation

o conf makepl_arg --perl_only

Seems to do the job, I was trying something like:

o conf makepl_arg PREFIX=--perl_only

But that didn't work.

Argh! The problem is, I'm already passing something like this to the CPAN shell:

o conf makepl_arg LIB=/path/to/my/distros/perllib

When you set the "--perl_only" paramater, it erases the "LIB=" paramater.

I guess I have to figure out how to pass both configuration thingies.

    Shouldn't putting them all on one line work? Like 
    o conf makepl_arg LIB=/path/to/my/distros/perllib PREFIX=--perl_only

    [download]

    Update: Or edit ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm directly and set the things you need from there.

      This works, as long as you put single quotes around the whole makepl_arg value:
      o conf makepl_arg 'LIB=/path/to/my/distros/perllib PREFIX=--perl_only'
      Otherwise, only one of the values is used.

      Usually, everything but the last configuration gets dropped. Usually.

      Update: Or edit ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm directly and set the things you need from there. I'm changing the configuration while in the CPAN shell to download CPAN modules to a specific location, so I can then add the modules to a distro. Basically.
