The "~" is translated to the user's profile directory (the directory named for
the user under "Documents and Settings" (Windows XP or earlier) or "Users"

directory is translated to a short name (which means the directory must exist)
and the subdirectories are created.

there are a number of caveats, and the best approach is always to perform a
build against a clean perl (i.e. site and vendor as close to empty as possible).

=head1 LIMITATIONS
+The perl toolchain is unable to handle directory names with spaces in it,
+so you cant put your local::lib bootstrap into a directory with spaces. What
+you can do is moving your local::lib to a directory with spaces B<after> you
+installed all modules inside your local::lib bootstrap. But be aware that you
+cant update or install CPAN modules after the move.

Rather basic shell detection. Right now anything with csh in its name is
assumed to be a C shell or something compatible, and everything else is assumed
to be Bourne, except on Win32 systems. If the C<SHELL> environment variable is
