Looking forward to seeing that happen. cpanm integrates local::lib already, and automatically sets up ~/perl5 when there's no write access to the site_perl and bin directory, and emits an instruction how to set it up. The documentation could be improved, and I'll be happy to work with you on that one to make it consistent with the CPAN.pm equivalent. -- Tatsuhiko MiyagawaThread Previous | Thread Next
