I don't see the output of `perl -V` there. You did do `perl -v`. > Please please suggest. Now it is asking to enter the CPAN site. It looks like you are behind a firewall that doesn't allow ftp nor http traffic. Do you have an http or ftp proxy? I tried it from a shell account without firewall issues, and got this: Can't locate object method "safe_quote" via package "CPAN::HandleConfig" at [...]/.cpan/lib/CPAN.pm line 5425. I decided to try perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN' but got the same error. I copied the sub safe_quote from the newly created ~/.cpan/build/CPAN-1.9205/lib/CPAN/HandleConfig.pm into the old ~/.cpan/lib/CPAN/HandleConfig.pm. Here some lines from my .cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm: 'build_dir' => q[~/.cpan/build], 'cpan_home' => q[~/.cpan], 'makepl_arg' => q[LIB=~/.cpan/lib \ PREFIX=~/.cpan/perl \ INSTALLMAN1DIR=~/man/man1 \ INSTALLMAN3DIR=~/man/man3], With a lot of patience, and switching to the shell of a box with a newer OS (FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE v.s. FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p2) I finally managed to install Bundle::CPAN. At the start, cpan says: "install Bundle::CPAN; reload cpan", but I had to leave the cpan shell, and enter it again, to get the new version active. My CPAN there is now v1.9205. Trying install of Math::Pari again now ... Succeeded: cpan[3]> install Math::Pari Math::Pari is up to date (2.010800). <phew> -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
