It only seems to happen on certain modules. I'm suspecting it's more a
damaged perl install. this is a RH 7.1 box and I downloaded/installed perl
5.6.1 on it to replace the 5.6.0 that it came with. I'm re-running the make
install from the perl build dir (Thankfully I saved it) and when it's done
will try again.
It's odd tho. I type:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install GD' and it works fine. Only with thinks like
HTTP::Date and Data::Dumper does it work. I'm not sure whats up.
Anyway, Once the re-install of perl is done, I'll make sure I'm at the
latest CPAN, then try again.
