Naturally what's weird is that a) CPAN isn't finding your list of configured sites, and b) the apparently hardcoded default is incorrect. Afraid I don't have many ideas about the first other than trying to remove the MyConfig.pm and re-configuring CPAN (not that I think this will help much). As for the second, that seems like a corrupted CPAN.pm to me, since I have the following hardcoded on both a 5.8.0 RH9 box and a 5.6.1 Solaris 8 box: $CPAN::Defaultsite ||= "ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN";; But your CPAN seems to be trying to hit the site without the 'pub/CPAN' which is why you are getting the not found errors. You might try hacking the CPAN you have installed to see what the 'Defaultsite' is set to, and/or downloading and reinstalling CPAN itself. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
