Interesting, I didn’t know that MyCpan.pm defaulted make install to run under

If it's the only way you use it, not a problem. But I'm often switching between local::lib and sudo installs with PERL5LIB getting changed.

I just tested to make sure it worked without sudo (after chowning  ~/.cpan), 
and it didn’t; it wouldn’t have worked with sudo either:

make: *** [pure_perl_install] Error 1
   MAREKR/Pod-Parser-1.67.tar.gz
   sudo /usr/bin/make install  -- NOT OK

  Why is Pod-Parser trying to install something in /usr/bin instead of 
/usr/local/bin?

That's an odd one. It could be something in Pod-Parser's makefile. And if I recall, OSX won't let you install under /usr/bin even with root privs.

Probably not Flavio’s problem (at least not yet), he doesn’t seem to have 
gotten anything installed.

I really want to find out what change in F::Q a few years back made the amount of dependencies explode.

Thanks.
