Thanks for the suggestions and the cpan lesson, I REALLY appreciate it. There were still problems so I finally did a reinstall of perl using the Ubuntu synaptic package manager. I could not find Tk Perl as such in Synaptic but I found an ap that needed Tk so I used Synaptic to install it and this resulted in Synaptic installing Tk also. Since installing Tk had been my primary task that worked, I will have to see if this also has made module MCPAN work from the command line. It is weird because module MCPAN works fine on my Athlon under Ubuntu
