Thanks to bliako in Re^3: To Framework or not to Framework and others in the same threadnode, I am trying to install a module using SSH to shared hosting as this has been disabled in cPanel. I am using PuTTY to connect. The module I'm trying to install as a test is Image::Info because it is small and useful so makes a good test.
The files are fetched OK and I can see them in the /home/shoples1/.cpan/build/ directory but install within CPAN finishes up with this error:
Configuring S/SR/SREZIC/Image-Info-1.42.tar.gz with Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both.
No 'Makefile' created SREZIC/Image-Info-1.42.tar.gz
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/shoples1/perl/usr -- NOT OK
Failed during this command:
SREZIC/Image-Info-1.42.tar.gz : writemakefile NO -- No
+ 'Makefile' created
From what I can tell, CPAN is trying to use two different and incompatible configuration methods but I have no idea how to tell it to only use one. From this information I have found conf makepl_arg but CPAN says:
Unknown shell command 'conf'.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
