Hi Noah,
I am not able to get CPAN to reload an index. I cant seem to
figure out why I cant reload the CPAN index? Even after updating
the CPAN URL list - I am still unable to fetch things from servers.
The output you showed (in all its glory!) might result from not
having FTP_PASSIVE set to 1 in your environment. If you're using bash
try
export FTP_PASSIVE=1
and then going through cpan again. If you're using tcsh then
setenv FTP_PASSIVE 1
and crank up cpan. Failing that it might be worth trying to install
LWP by hand (it has a few prerequisites that would also need to be
installed manually, but it's not too bad).
Good luck,
Paul
