That's a known bug with an old version of CPAN.pm. If you go into the CPAN shell and do an "install CPAN", it'll just upgrade the broken version. If on the other hand you do "install Bundle::CPAN", then it'll slurp up the latest Perl version as well. Oops. CPANPLUS seems to be a bit nicer anyway, and as far as I know it has never had that bug. I've been having quirks with both CPAN libraries though -- I installed readline support, and something didn't go quite right. Line wraps, for example, start one character to the left of the left edge of the window, with the first letter up a row & back -- very annoying. I was hoping that the Panter upgrade would make this go away, but it didn't seem to help. Has anyone else seen behavior like that? It's annoying, but not a huge impediment to getting things done, so I haven't brought it up before... -- Chris Devers
