What would a new operating system be without the old problems from yesteryear creeping back into the mix. New G5, 10.3 installed, running 5.8.1, and when attempting to CPAN "anything" I continually get:

Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
Bundle summary: The following items in bundle Bundle::DBI had installation
problems:


My config.pm reads:

  'shell' => q[/bin/bash],
  'tar' => q[/usr/bin/tar],
  'term_is_latin' => q[1],
  'unzip' => q[/usr/bin/unzip],

What is my innocent mind doing wrong this time? I've installed the Developer Tools. I've read a hundred threads on how to rewrite my config, and no change is in sight.

Many thanks to whatever pour soul comes to my rescue.

Best,

Mark
