If all else fails, you'll just have to wait for me to put a dev release on CPAN. The kludgey way is to go to github and download the files. http://github.com/briandfoy/cpan-script/tree/master With git, once you have it installed, to get the sources: $ git clone git://github.com/briandfoy/cpan-script.git Then you have the directory and you can just play with the files inside.

Here are my thoughts on some of the problems/options: Problem 1: race condition between unarchiving and execution if Makefile.PL or Build.PL is world writable (ditto test files as well) (a) Have CPAN and CPANPLUS refuse to run 'perl *.PL' if the PL in question is world writable. (b) Have CPAN and CPANPLUS not preserve mode permissions even for root; that's "--no-same-permissions") for tar or $Archive::Tar::CHMOD = 0 for Archive::Tar. I presume there's a comparable thing for zip archives. That leaves it up to the users umask setting. (c) Both (d) Something else (e) Ignore it Personally, I lean towards (b) as that seems relatively sane and minimally disruptive. For (a), I worry about edge cases for operating systems that don't have unixish permissions. E.g. on Win32, an administrative always has write-permission, even on files set to be read-only. A less aggressive option than (a) is just to issue warnings about world-writable files. For completeness, there's a possible problem 2: An insecure umask can lead to world-writable files, including not only the unarchived files, but also Makefile (or Build) and some files in blib [1]: (a) Ignore this -- insecure umask isn't Perl's problem to worry about (b) Set an appropriate umask before generating Makefile, Build or copying things to blib. For this one, I lean towards (a). -- David [1] EU::MM and M::B have a race condition when then copy files to blib before calling chmod. Also, shebang fixes seem to undo the chmod and leave script files with the default permissions from the umask On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 1:37 PM, Shlomi Fish <shlomif@iglu.org.il> wrote: > Hi all. > > Note to "Securiteam": there's a link to the possible security problem report > at the bottom. > > On Monday 22 September 2008, chromatic wrote: >> On Monday 22 September 2008 08:41:31 Michael G Schwern wrote: >> > Shlomi Fish wrote: >> > > Let's suppose Makefile.PL is world-writable.

This is basically what the new -j switch to cpan does, although it doesn't try to figure out if the configuration you load is valid yet. In the git repo (http://github.com/briandfoy/cpan-script/tree/app) I'm currently working in the app branch because I'm moving it to the App::Cpan set-up and I'm working on the test suite. The script mostly works as far as I can tell because I've been using it even while it is in development. Try this (after make, etc) in the dev dir: # dump the current config $ perl -Mblib script/cpan -J > MyConf.pm # change then load the current config # it should dump you into the shell, or you can give it some other command $ perl -Mblib script/cpan -j MyConf.pm # load and dump, to see if it all worked. $ perl -Mblib script/cpan -j MyConf.pm -J -- brian d foy <brian.d.foy@gmail.com> http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2008/09/msg119.html Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:06:26 +0000 Re: cpan commandline script by brian d foy To bring everyone up to speed, someone asked me to modify the cpan script so it would load a one-time use configuration file. That's a bit difficult to do inside CPAN.pm because the module is hard-coded to look for CPAN/MyConfig.pm in @INC (and it shoves ~/.cpan in there for you). The use case looks like: prompt$ cpan -j MyConfig.pl ..... <braindump reason="history"> Inside MyConfig.pl, you do something that populates $CPAN::Config when it loads. It's possible to do that not when it loads, but the easiest thing is to just take a file in the right format. $CPAN::Config is a global variable, and that's just the way it is, so I'm leaving all of that complexity in whatever MyConfig.pl is. Now comes the tricky part. CPAN.pm has several entry points, and they first check that the config was loaded before they do their thing. CPAN::HandleConfig->load (formerly CPAN::Config->load) checks that $CPAN_loaded is true. If it's not, it calls require_myconfig_or_config, which looks in %INC for $INC{'CPAN/MyConfig.pm'}. </braindump> Now, if I want to load configs, I might as well dump them too. So I added the -J switch: prompt$ cpan -j MyConfig.pl ..... So, I've hacked those bits into the latest cpan, which is not on github. Right now it's in the dump_config branch: http://github.com/briandfoy/cpan-script/tree/dump_config I've not tested it to see if everything else works. The next step is to add a -oconf switch, or something like that, so I can do things like replacing only some values: prompt$ cpan -oconf makepl_arg=foo That requires a lot more work on the innards though because the script isn't set up to do fancy argument processing. No idea how I'm going to do that just yet. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2008/09/msg118.html Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:06:22 +0000 Re: cpan commandline script by David Golden On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 4:24 PM, brian d foy <bdfoy@cpan.org> wrote: > David Golden is one of the CPAN.pm maintainers, so he might be > interested in this discussion too. David, is there a CPAN.pm > developers mailing list this should be on? Sort of. In Oslo, various people said we should reactivate cpan-workers@perl.org for discussions about how to move the CPAN tools and ecosystem forward. So I and some other have subscribed but there's been not much traffic. But come join! We can start it up. I like the idea. My personal wishlist for CPAN.pm is to eventually eliminate all the globals and global file locking so multiple CPAN's can run concurrently. Then multiple config files become potentially even more useful. -- David http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2008/09/msg117.html Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:40:56 +0000 Re: distroprefs suggestion: installer by Hans Dieter Pearcey On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 08:49:31AM +0200, Andreas J.

I think something as > short as --features=:all needs to be chosen. It must be short, easy to > grasp and the right thing for a majority. You're right. 'all' and 'none' are the most important anyway; while it might be nice to be able to say "no optional dependencies, all scripts", that's clearly not worth optimizing for at this point. (-all vs. :all I don't care about -- the leading dash was just the first thing that came to mind as "something that does not look like a module or script".) I didn't realize (before) that EUMM and M::B would silently ignore --features or FEATURES= if they didn't recognize the argument. That makes things much easier to deal with -- I had assumed they'd cause installation to abort. Oops. I am not incredibly worried about the syntax, and I agree that the optional_deps= thing I suggested above is not very pretty. It could be useful to provide a standard way to communicate things like "should I run tests that use a network connection" or "should I install an XS version of this module"; these aren't necessarily the right thing to put into 'features', but are they worth trying to solve in a similar way? Right now, everyone does their own thing, as evidenced by the large number of expect and eexpect sections in cpanpm/distroprefs. hdp. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2008/04/msg116.html Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:46:33 +0000 Re: test by David Golden roger On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 7:34 AM, Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@pobox.com> wrote: > hellooooo > > hdp. > http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2008/04/msg115.html Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:45:08 +0000 test by Hans Dieter Pearcey hellooooo hdp. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2008/04/msg114.html Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:34:43 +0000 Re: FAIL Class-DBI-0.96 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread 5.1 by Robert Rothenberg But it's not in the CPAN index, so CPANPLUS thinks it's not on CPAN.

Burke I've now made a public release of makepmdist, the program that I mentioned here about two months ago. http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SB/SBURKE/makepmdist_1.02.pl One idea (which Mark Jason Dominus gave me) that I'm thinking of implementing in the next version is a way to tell makepmdist "Don't consider the lack of documentation to be a fatal error", and/or "Just run the tests for this module". I didn't think there'd be a call for either option, because I was thinking just in terms of bundling up completed modules. But MJD pointed out that such options might be useful as you're developing the module. -- Sean M.

Also, if the version string is undef it should barf and refuse to wrok until they include a version, but that's just the version tsar in me :) Looks nice and I especially like the newline stripping :) You should maybe send this to cpan-testers and see if they like it and if you can get a win32 guinea pig. e. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.workers/2002/02/msg99.html Sat, 16 Feb 2002 22:07:57 +0000 makepmdist by Sean M. Burke I've written a program called makepmdist (which I'm planning to put in CPAN, once I get a bit of feedback on it) that simplifies the task of making a dist of a single module. It's not meant to handle every kind of module in CPAN. It's just meant to the common case of a pure-Perl modules that is the only module in its dist. (For example, that describes about half of the dists in my CPAN directory.) Basically, you say "makepmdist Foo.pm" and it does some very minimal sanity-checking on Foo.pm, then makes a temp directory in which it copies Foo.pm, makes a Makefile.PL, a README, a MANIFEST, and a t/test.t. Details of the contents of the Makefile.PL and the t/test.t are controlled by optional =for blocks in the Foo.pm file. (It also does some nice things like make sure that the Foo.pm that gets disted is in Unix newline format and has a $VERSION; and it warns about any ridiculously long lines in the file.) Then it makes test, dist, clean, moves the resulting .tar.gz up and out, and kills the temp dir -- unless there was a fatal error along the way, at which point it would just abort and let you ponder the temp dir's contents. I wrote this someone at YAPC about two years ago said it'd be nice if disting a module were a one-step process; and I liked that idea. Well, it almost is one-step now, if the module is simple enough (i.e., no XS, and is the only module in the dist), and if you don't count the part about actually submitting it to PAUSE, which would bring this to an aching TWO steps. I would appreciate if people would look at the program at its temporary location, at http://members.spinn.net/~sburke/makepmdist_101.txt and consider its docs, and test it out if you can, and let me know how it works for you. You probably have questions, and they are probably answered in the Pod that's at the end of that program file. -- Sean M.
