It looks like this happens if both libfile-homedir-perl and xdg-user-dirs are installed, in which case CPAN.pm uses File::HomeDir to look up the directory, and File::HomeDir assumes you want to follow the FreeDesktop.org specification. Assuming this behaviour is deliberate, the CPAN.pm documentation should probably refer to File::HomeDir or something like that. -- Niko Tyni [email protected]
