-------
Can anyone diagnose the problem? Previously, I was using my system's perl
5.8.6, but I couldn't get cpan to install the first module I tried to
install, LWP::Simple. cpan could not complete its 'make test' for the
LWP::Simple install. So someone suggested that I install libwww-perl-5.833
by hand and skip the 'make test' step while installing. I did that, and
afterwards I was able to use LWP::Simple in a perl script. Next, I tried to
use cpan to install FileUtils::More, but that didn't work. As a result, I
decided to upgrade to perl 5.10.1 to see if that would cure the cpan
problems. After successfully installing perl 5.10.1, I tried to use cpan
to install FileUtils::More, but once again cpan couldn't install the module.
Thanks.
