I still have that: cpan[4]> o conf makepl_arg makepl_arg [PREFIX=/home/vlefevre SITELIBEXP=/home/vlefevre/lib/site_perl LIB=/home/vlefevre/lib/site_perl INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/vlefevre/share/man/man1 INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR=/home/vlefevre/share/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/vlefevre/share/man/man3 INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR=/home/vlefevre/share/man/man3] Type 'o conf' to view all configuration items but this no longer has any effect. When I want to install Sys::Info, I get errors: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
