OK, I've figured out what went wrong: 0.27_06 isn't on
www.cpan.org/pub/CPAN yet. However, *how* it went wrong is truly bizzare:
LWP returned a "404 not found" error, yet somehow I still ended up with a
.tar.gz and .tar file, and CPAN thinking it had actually downloaded
something. This looks like a bug in CPAN.pm, both in the 1.7 version that's
distributed with 5.8.7, and the latest release, 1.83.
Thanks,
Tyler
