Folks,

Somehow, when I run cpan -i Some::Module, (or run cpan interactively, for that matter), it installs the module somewhere outside my @INC path. The first time it did that, I was really confused, but I found I could move the module (and the docs) to the right places manually.

That kinda thwarts the whole point of automating the install, though.

Anyone know where you change the setting where cpan installs modules?

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.
