/etc/passwd $HOME
I would like to add a user with the following $HOME:
/var/abc/AB!CD!DE/error
yes - this directory actually exists on the system.
I would like the user to log into the above directory.
I have tried wrapping in single quotes (`) as well as using the escape (\) but I guess that I do not have the proper syntax. Currently when the user logs in - He gets the following error message:
Could not chdir to home directory............
The user is able to log into the box and the pwd is "/".
Is there a trick that I can use? or would it easier to create a link?
Thanks for you help

cpan::uploader
CPAN::Uploader(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPAN::Uploader(3pm)
NAME
CPAN::Uploader - upload things to the CPAN
VERSION
version 0.103001
METHODS
upload_file
CPAN::Uploader->upload_file($file, \%arg);
$uploader->upload_file($file);
Valid arguments are:
user - (required) your CPAN / PAUSE id
password - (required) your CPAN / PAUSE password
subdir - the directory (under your home directory) to upload to
http_proxy - uri of the http proxy to use
upload_uri - uri of the upload handler; usually the default (PAUSE) is right
debug - if set to true, spew lots more debugging output
This method attempts to actually upload the named file to the CPAN. It will raise an exception on error.
new
my $uploader = CPAN::Uploader->new(\%arg);
This method returns a new uploader. You probably don't need to worry about this method.
Valid arguments are the same as those to "upload_file".
read_config_file
my $config = CPAN::Uploader->read_config_file( $filename );
This reads the config file and returns a hashref of its contents that can be used as configuration for CPAN::Uploader.
If no filename is given, it looks for .pause in the user's home directory (from the env var "HOME", or the current directory if "HOME"
isn't set).
log
$uploader->log($message);
This method logs the given string. The default behavior is to print it to the screen. The message should not end in a newline, as one
will be added as needed.
log_debug
This method behaves like "log", but only logs the message if the CPAN::Uploader is in debug mode.
ORIGIN
This code is mostly derived from "cpan-upload-http" by Brad Fitzpatrick, which in turn was based on "cpan-upload" by Neil Bowers. I (rjbs)
didn't want to have to use a "system" call to run either of those, so I refactored the code into this module.
