Comment (by zzzzz):
Maybe I'm just accustomed to old ''/boot/common/'' layout, which seems to
be with haiku since the very beginning. And those dots in folder names...
Is it Haiku's hidden directory, like Unix?
On my Slackware Linux box ''include array @INC'' default value is as
follows:
{{{
@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
.
}}}
Manually installed modules (site_perl), for example from cpan shell with
sudo, go into /usr/local hierarchy. Those pre-packaged should go into
vendor_perl directories. By saying that layout is broken I wanted to say
that in the current HaikuPM layout the 'site_perl' part for manual
installation falls below /packaged directory, which for me is not logical.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be somewhere else,
somewhere outside, at least for manually installed modules (aka
site_perl), which have nothing in common with packaging? Or is it my
misunderstanding of new package management internals?
On HaikuPM 'site_perl' part of @INC looks like this:
{{{
/packages/perl-5.10.1-5/.self/non-packaged/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1
/BePC-haiku
/packages/perl-5.10.1-5/.self/non-packaged/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1
.
}}}
Anyway, the '''critical issue''' here is the '''inability to build/install
perl modules'''. And supposedly the CPAN/Config.pm is on place, still
default installation place for modules will be below this /packages
directory.
BTW, default per user config in ''$HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm'' is
typically generated upon first run of ''cpan'' shell. But this HaikuPM
cpan is ''/boot/common/bin/cpan''? Why not
''/packages/perl-5.10.1-5/.self/bin/cpan''?
