Today, when I tried to install Perl using the above sequence of
commands.
However, after I entered the third command "cpan> install
Data::Dumper";, a
message was displayed indicating that there is a new version of perl &
it
canbe installed by using the command "cpan> install Bundle::CPAN".
Well, I
changed the commands to as follows:
% echo $PATH
% perl -MCPAN -e shell
Note: Answer "no" to auto-configure perl.
cpan> install Data::Dumper
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
cpan> install Bundle::DBD::mysql
cpan> quit
First of all, the echo command above isn't really doing anything. You
can drop it. Second, the prompt you were getting was most likely that
the version of the CPAN package you are using is out of date (that is,
the cpan> prompt has a newer version). Change the order to:
% perl -MCPAN -e shell
Note: Answer "no" to auto-configure perl.
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install Data::Dumper
cpan> install Bundle::DBI
cpan> install Bundle::DBD::mysql
cpan> quit
