Re: [ic] Interchange installation on Virtual Server Help required

[John Walsh <jwalsh@diabetesnet.com>]

Mike,

Being the perl and IC novice I am, I welcomed your CPAN_local_install 
script, but when I ran it in my VPS space, I got:

##########
If you have errors during the process, don't worry. Either
just continue on or stop the program and try again, replying
No when prompted for CPAN.

Get Bundle::Interchange module? [yes]
Can't return outside a subroutine at cpan_local_install line 96, <STDIN> 
chunk 1
 .
#############

In the script, I believe these are the lines referenced:
##############
for my $module (@mods_to_get) {
         my $prompt = "Get $module module? [yes]";
         my $ask = my_prompt($prompt);
         return undef if $ask =~ /^\s*n/i;

         return undef unless defined $CPAN::Config;
         $CPAN::Config->{makepl_arg} = .......
##################

There's a sub above called myprompt, but the return doesn't seem to realize 
it's there?

John

ps: While I'm gnashing my teeth on freeBSD VPSs, I have another question. 
During the IC install in my system, two interchange directories are 
created: one at /usr/interchange (with bin and order subdirectories) and 
/usr/local/interchange with the rest. I assume this schitzophrenia was 
either unintentional or I entered a path incorrectly?

I didn't put an invocation method in.

         perl cpan_local_install /home/you/interchange

If you are already chdir-ed to the interchange directory, you can
just run the script with no arguments.

I put "require 5.6.0" in, because if you have 5.005 installed it may
try and install a complete new Perl 5.6! If you want to try it, remove
the "require 5.6.0" line and hit control-C when it starts to install
Perl (if it does).
