Re: Speaking of CPAN
Oh. I should say thanks, Bill. I tried it again and it worked this time.

Yeah, I had something very similar happen to me last week. I can't remember for sure how I got it working but I think it prompted me to edit or add a valid cpan mirror to download modules from. I went to http://cpan.org/SITES.html and copy and pasted a url from the list of sites and it worked after that. Used ping and the traceroute tool in the GUI network utility to figure out that all the Japanese mirrors were up except the one with the official sounding name. Then I put all five of the mirrors that were up in the mirror list using o conf, and tried again. Just let it run, and it finally seemed to take hold on the fifth mirror. Seemed like it kept dropping connections and changing mirrors on every download, but I just left it mostly to itself, and it loaded the CPAN bundle in about a half hour or so. Had to hit the enter key a couple of times to confirm on loading dependencies, but that was about it. I even got LWP and Crypt::SSLeay loaded before I went to bed. Sorry I couldn't be more help... It did the trick. Kindest Regards, -- Bill Stephenson 417-546-8390 Joel Rees [EMAIL PROTECTED] digitcom, inc. 株式会社デジコム Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** http://www.ddcom.co.jp **
Speaking of CPAN
anyone besides me having trouble accessing the mirrors? I've been rebuilding my iBook when I can spare ten minutes here and a half hour there. I installed perl 5.8.7 several weeks back under /usr/local and started CPAN with the path set to look at /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, then remembered I wanted to install gnupg first, so I aborted and installed gnupg today and tried to o conf init. Got this at the end, about two hours ago: terminal output You have no /usr/local/share/perl/.cpan/sources/MIRRORED.BY I'm trying to fetch one LWP not available CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY Couldn't cwd pub/CPAN at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/CPAN.pm line 2260, STDIN line 28.
