Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers .profile problem using set -o vi Post 302100725 by blowtorch on Friday 22nd of December 2006 12:31:39 AM

I checked on a Solaris 8 box, with ksh and it works just fine. Make sure that your shell is indeed ksh and (this may be a bit silly) make sure that your home directory exists and that you have write permissions on it. Otherwise ksh won't be able to write to the .sh_history file and you won't get any history.

Cheers,

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new - mint a new dist VERSION
version 4.300020 SYNOPSIS
Creates a new Dist-Zilla based distribution under the current directory. $ dzil new Main::Module::Name There are two arguments, "-p" and "-P". "-P" specify the minting profile provider and "-p" - the profile name. The default profile provider first looks in the ~/.dzil/profiles/$profile_name and then among standard profiles, shipped with Dist::Zilla. For example: $ dzil new -p work Corporate::Library This command would instruct "dzil" to look in ~/.dzil/profiles/work for a profile.ini (or other "profile" config file). If no profile name is given, "dzil" will look for the "default" profile. If no default directory exists, it will use a very simple configuration shipped with Dist::Zilla. $ dzil new -P Foo Corporate::Library This command would instruct "dzil" to consult the Foo provider about the directory of 'default' profile.
