I am still having trouble using CPAN module to load
mod_perl

I am getting the following error message

     1  gzip:
.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DO/DOUGM/mod_perl-1.26.tar.gz:\
         No such file or directory
     2  gzip:

I have re-config cpan using the following command

        cpan> o config init

The current Config.pm file looks like this

     1  
     2  # This is CPAN.pm's systemwide configuration file.
This file provides
     3  # defaults for users, and the values can be
changed in a per-user
     4  # configuration file. The user-config file is
being looked for as
     5  # ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm.
