Re: Trouble installing module: "LWP not available"

Andreas

Speaking of bad configs, I think I might be a good idea to start adding 
some basic error checks.

Yesterday I got caught by the various paths not allowing the use of 
tilde ~. Instead of my homedir, it installed to a directory called, 
literally, "~".

Apart from being a little annoying, fixing it required I make the 
scariest command I've ever done on a production system.

rm -rf "~"

:/
