Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / January 2005Undoing/Fixing an installation of CPAN on Mac OS X 10.2.6
Greeting - I attempted to access CPAN using Terminal (OS 10.2.6) by entering : perl -MCPAN -e shell During the long q/a for the installation - I apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly by answering "yes" - NOW - attempting to install modules FAILS because it is looking for a "yes" directory that it can NOT find. Any suggestions as to how I can reset CPAN - so I can try to go thru the install process - or WHERE I would need to create a YES directory to make the installation work? I am trying to download MySQL components - Bundle::libnet, DBI and DBD:mysql Thank you in advance. Josef ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~Josef A. Herz It is NOT necessary to change.

Pay attention this time - nuff said about that. Once you're done, enter: o conf commit > I am trying to download MySQL components - Bundle::libnet, DBI and > DBD:mysql Be aware that DBD::mysql needs some additional hand-holding for its tests to pass, in the form of arguments that need to be supplied to "Makefile.PL". Have a look in the list archives if you haven't done so already. sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me! My resume: http://www.dot-app.org > Start the CPAN shell and enter: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > o conf commit Or, you can just do o conf and look at which value you messed up, then do o conf foo bar where 'foo' is the key you messed up on, and 'bar' is the value you should have entered. Then o conf commit will make sure your fix persists for your next CPAN session. -Ken |
