$HOME not recognized by CPAN
I'm on a multiuser system where cpan used to be functional. Now, when a user who hasn't run cpan before tries to install modules, it cannot find $HOME to create .cpan directories inside of. `echo $HOME` comes back correctly with my home directory, but for some reason cpan isn't reading this properly? Does anyone know what would cause cpan to do this?
