Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging [...] Use of uninitialized value $what in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/5.30/App/Cpan.pm line 679, line 1. Warning: You do not have write permission for Perl library directories. I think it is just because the site_perl directories do not exist. % perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 30 subversion 3) configuration: [...] @INC: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/5.30 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30 /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/share/perl5/5.30 ls: cannot access '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30/x86_64-cygwin-threads': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '/usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/5.30': No such file or directory If I simply create these empty directories the problem goes away. Could the perl package just include these empty directories?
