in reply to Re^2: CPAN shell - passing params for module installation
in thread CPAN shell - passing params for module installation

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.
