Comment (by zzzzz):
Thank you for the explanation.
> The "non-packaged" directories in "/boot/common" and "/boot/home/config"
are the base for a writable directory hierarchy, while most of the sibling
directories are read-only (save for a few exceptions like "settings",
"cache", and "var").
Maybe some files (and this Config.pm) are set read-only after the build,
tried to be modified afterwards, but error is silent and changes don't
follow?
> So the `@INC` paths look OK, I guess. I'm not sure about the vendor perl
directories. We might want to consider changing those to explicitly list
both "/boot/common/..." and "/boot/home/config/...", so one can install
packaged perl modules in home, even if perl itself is installed in common.
Sounds ok for me, but is it futureproof? Will the changes be needed when
multiuser haiku is developed? In my opinion vendor_perl should be
available only for packaged perl-based software and thus system-wide only.
Explicitly listed both "/boot/common/..." and "/boot/home/config/..."
reflect the 'sudo' cpan usage scenario on Linux, and the 'local::lib'
usage scenario. For single-user it doesn't really matter, but for more
users it would be great if they could install their own modules
independently.
And finally, can we just create CPAN::Config by hand with proper values as
a workaround?
