No. It installs all modules into the same place. I think it used to install core modules into core directory a lot of years ago, but this not true anymore. > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. Install perl and perl-core from yum > 2. Run "cpan Test::Simple" or "cpanm Test::Simple" > > Actual results: > New version of Test-Simple distribution is installed It's installed either into site directory or local::lib directory. It depends what you choose at cpan configuration. If it's configured for site directory, then the modules will be installed there. Otherwise the modules will be installed into ~/perl5 and your ~/.bashrc will be modified to set PERL_MM_OPT and PERL_MB_OPT variables, if you select so. > but old version from RPM continues to be used, In addition, if you install perl-homedir package, PERL5LIB and PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT will be set on login, so any perl invocation will use the ~/perl5 tree automatically. I think this is what brought your confusion. The cpan installs into ~/perl5 but does use it by default. > Can be avoided by using local::lib or modifying @INC. Maybe there is a > better solution. I think the best solution is to modify the cpan client to offer creating the site directories. If it succeeds, it will default installation to site directories instead of the local::lib. See bug #1132321. Or does you cpan client behave differently? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
