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, fixed in my copy. Both curl and lynx could make CPAN.pm believe that a download actually succeeded although it didn't. For curl the fix was easy by adding a few commandline switches. For lynx I had to apply some heuristics. Thanks again, -- andreas
