Does anyone want to do any of: > 6: Propose a patch for CPAN.pm I have a partial solution[0] but there is an obstacle. Here's the Makefile.PL of the CPAN version of Switch-1.14: use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => q[Switch], VERSION_FROM => q[Switch.pm], PREREQ_PM => { 'Filter::Util::Call' => 0, 'Text::Balanced' => 0 }, INSTALLDIRS => $] >= 5.00703 ? 'perl' : 'site', ); For all modules that set INSTALLDIRS to 'perl' the installation simply overwrites the already installed Switch.pm or even refrains from doing it when the files are really identical. In such a case installing from CPAN with MakeMAker does not resolve the situation. Are you intending to demand that these distros be changed to always specify "site"? -- andreas [0] git://github.com/andk/cpanpm.git commit 22a8f07Thread Previous | Thread Next
