I don't quite understand the problem you're having. >Fetching with LWP: > ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY.gz/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz >LWP failed with code[404] message[Can't chdir to MIRRORED.BY.gz] That URL looks wrong, and I don't get that. I get ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz. Could you possibly have that URL wrong in CPAN::Config? As to the hard restart, this might be related to some other open bugs we have. I'm not quite sure. >It also creates a duplicate Mac OS 9 Applications folder on the Hard Disk >every >time (that's the default place for MacPerl 5.6.1b1 where the MacPerl app >and all >libs and stuff are), so I'm stumped :/ What do you mean, creates a duplicate folder? In your dump, I see two different folders: Hard Disk:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ: Hard Disk:Applications(Mac OS9):MacPerl: I dunno why that might be. Do you have HOME set to the latter? Also check cpan_home in CPAN::Config. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
