Re^2: module-starter command not found after installation

Hey Maybe you're on to something

I got this:

Wed Nov 28 20:17:48 2012: "Module" Test::Simple
       ·   "installed into: /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4"
       ·   "LINKTYPE: dynamic"
       ·   "VERSION: 0.98"
       ·   "EXE_FILES: "
   Wed Nov 28 20:18:06 2012: "Module" HTTP::Tiny
       ·   "installed into: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4"
       ·   "LINKTYPE: dynamic"
       ·   "VERSION: 0.024"
       ·   "EXE_FILES: "
   Wed Nov 28 20:18:12 2012: "Module" IPC::Run3
       ·   "installed into: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4"

Also, I can see a number of modules under /Library/Perl/5.10 and /Library/Perl/5.12, but I can't see Module::Starter here

And It seems that all my newer module installations are going somewhere wrong! How do I make them go back to the regular default location?

I checked somewhere, can I safely do this:

eval $(perl -Mlocal::lib=--deactivate-all)

This command will just unset some environment variables and restore `PATH` in your current shell. You need to edit your shell rc file (usually `~/.bashrc`, check `root`'s too) to reset changes local::lib made. You may also need to edit CPAN config, try `grep -r perl5 ~/.cpan` (maybe as root) to check whether you need to do it. You can also install modules as normal user (to ~/perl5) if you allow local::lib to create the overlay. Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK!!! It seems like removing this line from .bash_profile worked: `export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH` [download] I installed Module Starter again and it deleted files from somewhere, installed and now I can use module-starter.pl Thanks a TON all you guys! :)	[reply] [d/l]

You should be asking yourself why `export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH` was in your `.bash_profile`. It was there for a reason. Your cure might have broken something else. Dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hey thanks for your reply. I don't have .bashrc but I have .bash_profile and the following in it: `source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH` [download] Should I remove the export or even the source line? What should I look for and edit in ~/.cpan ??	[reply] [d/l]

Do you use system Perl, or Perl built using perlbrew? What's inside `~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc`? Do you see any differences in root's config files? Search `~/.cpan/CPAN/MyPrefs.pm` and the output of `o conf` CPAN shell command for something unusual in options named `make_..._arg` and `mbuild_..._arg`. It looks like removing these lines made you use system Perl again instead of perlbrew's one, and CPAN is set to install modules in system directories by default. Sorry if my advice was wrong.

This is in reply to @davido's post, I can't seem to reply directly to his post. Yes, some book I was reading had a thing about local::lib and I barely understood it well and added that `export PATH` in my bash_profile myself. I tried to run a bunch of scripts and my dummy catalyst projects, and they work so, so far so good :) When I did `perldoc perllocal` I get an output described in this post : Re^2: module-starter command not found after installation. I'm assuming those are modules installed in my local lib and if I need them I might have to do a re-install?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
