            Bug ID: 1709491
           Summary: perl-homedir creates a local::lib for root user
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 29
            Status: NEW
         Component: perl-local-lib

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



Description of problem:

Upon installing the perl-homedir RPM (which seems to be default in some
RHEL/CentOS 7 configurations) a profile.d entry is added which enables a
local::lib for all users, including root. The root user should not have a
local::lib, as this means 'sudo cpan' or 'sudo cpanm' (though inadvisable)
will
install into a location unusable by any other user, rather than the global
sitelib as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-homedir-2.000024-4.fc29.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install perl-homedir
2. switch to root user
3. check perl -V

Actual results:
~/perl5 is created for root user and local::lib environment variables and
directories are visible in perl -V output.

Expected results:
No local::lib is created or activated for the root user by default.
