Re^2: cpan installing modules outside of the @INC path

Alas, that key is empty.

Still, if I install from the cpan shell, it goes somewhere outside my @INC path. If I then go into the ~/.cpan/build/Some-Module directory and do a

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
[download]

--it goes to the right place.

Just where does cpan install the module? Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!	[reply]

It installs things into `/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/`, but @INC is this: `/opt/at/perl5lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The installation dir just looks fine to me. I have more versioned directories from 5.8.3 to 5.8.8. But yours look like come from two different version of Perl. On my machine, `$ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi` [download] When I peek at the source of `cpan,` command line the shebang points to `/usr/bin/perl`, and, $ head `which cpan` #!/usr/bin/perl eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if 0; # not running under some shell $ /usr/bin/perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi [download] Both commands gave me the same version of Perl, so the `@INC` should stay same. Either cpan or manual installation will go to the same installation dir. Could you reproduce those commands on your machine? Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can.
