1) Please do not post all over the place.
2) When you mention Operating Systems, please mention what version. There are umpteen versions of Solaris and HP-UX.
3) Please mention what Shell you are running. You code like you have a 15-year-old Shell.
4) If you have code which does not work, please explain in words what the code should do.
5) Why invoke commands with syntax like $EGREP? There is no reason to do this. The command is lower case egrep. There are a lot more examples in the script. $LS , $CAT , $AWK. Why?
6) What on earth is the value of the environment variable $GGREP ?

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells SYNOPSIS
use CPANPLUS::Shell; # load the shell indicated by your # config -- defaults to # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic] # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic; my $ui = CPANPLUS::Shell->new(); my $name = $ui->which; # Find out what shell you loaded $ui->shell; # run the ui shell DESCRIPTION
This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS" shell.
