It seems there have been no postings to the list for over a year, but
here goes anyway.
Last night I installed Perl 5.16.1 in /usr/local/ and immediately
encountered problems when I tried to install and update modules using
CPAN. The error is copied below. I could see no solution to the
problem and was expecting a very tiresome late night, until by some
stroke of luck I thought of trying cpanplus to install the modules
and to install CPAN itself.
You can imagine my relief when this worked, and now CPAN runs without a hitch.
