I have been trying to install/upgrade some perl modules using CPAN. But it appears that fink and CPAN are working at cross purposes and, perhaps, I am trying to do something that can't/shouldn't be done ...
The trouble I am running up against is a dependency problem between ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Pod::Man (podlator). The version in Fink are, respectively, 6.62 and 2.4.2; several CPAN modules need MakeMaker at 6.64 which requires Pod::Man (podlator module actually) at 2.5.1. When I try to install either in CPAN I get the circular dependency problem. I tried a manual install which completed but didn't seem to install in the right place. Or, at least, into a place the CPAN sees. Am I crazy to try to use CPAN while using fink? Any advice would be appreciated.
