[/home/satimis/yes] > /root/,cpan/yes Here [/root/.cpan] -- you should have just hit enter. Try deleting the following directories: /home/satimis/yes /root/.cpan/yes Then try this once more (I apologize if this seems long and drawn out -- I myself installed and tried to use CPAN about 500 times before I "understood" it -- and sometimes I don't understand it today.) Note: Usually the default answer of (hitting) [Enter] (the return key) is all you need to do. As root - cd perl -MCPAN -e 'shell cpan> o conf init Enjoy experiementing :) -- WC -Sx- Jones http://insecurity.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
