These instructions currently broken
There seems to be no /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm on wolfsbane right now. &mdash; 121.210.48.101 10:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

What about FCGI access?
These instructions now work fine for scripts I want to run from the command line, but when I move the working code to Fast CGI the modules are not accessible by the server.

What's the solution in this case? &mdash; Hippietrail 01:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

local::lib
I wasn't able to install XML::RSS::Parser because one of its dependencies, Class::ErrorHandler, tried to write to /usr/local/man/man3

Somebody on freenode #perl looked at these instructions and had this to say about this page:


 * those instructions are crap.
 * that makepl_arg setting isn't nearly enough.
 * if you use local::lib right you can put it in /etc/skel
 * so it all just comes preconfigured
 * so it all just comes preconfigured

in #wikimedia-toolserver says it's a good idea. Should I file a ticket on Jira? &mdash; Hippietrail 13:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
