It's way easier to use than AUR. Been there, done that. I did the setup and the appropriate directory was built successfully in my home directory - .cpanplus is the root of cpanplus app[arently. > This is what I did: > pacman -Qm | grep "^perl-" > perlpkgs > pacman -Rcs $(<perlpkgs) Once the perlpkgs file was built, I had to go in and manually remove all the version numbers; otherwise, pacman threw errors; it could not recognize them as additional packages. > use cpanp to reinstall everything in perlpkgs that you still need Do you need to be root to do this installation? I ask this because after building the .cpanplus resources under my home directory, I figured I would have to do 'cpanp -i Net::Twitter' from my normal user account. But nothing got installed and the packages all complained about missing dependencies. I read the documentation (what little there was) and I can't figure out what else I need to do to get this working. It appears a bunch of packages got download and expanded into ./cpanplus/lib/5.14.1 but they all failed because none of the other dependencies were installed yet. What do I need to do here?
