I'd say your CPAN config is fubar.
Try this: $ perl -l -MCPAN::Config -e 'print grep /Config/, values %INC' /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/CPAN/Config.pm This prints the location of your CPAN config file. Now remove this file or move it somewhere. Now run $ perl -MCPAN -e shell This will start the reconfiguration process. Make sure you answer the questions properly. (Somebody may now of a way to force CPAN to reconfigure itself other than removing the Config.pm file). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
