Cpan works for me out of the box and uses Net::FTP (not lynx or wget) by default. Try removing your ~/.cpan directory and see if the problem persists. - todd
Re: perl -MCPAN checksum mismatch on anything
Same problem. I too have this same problem. Fresh install...no custom anything...just trying to add modules to perl, and anything tried fails 100% no matter which source I use (even perl.org). Whats going on? - anyone have any further insight on this? -- Chet Langin

Its MD5 checksum is incorrect. Maybe you have configured your 'urllist' with a bad URL. Please check this array with 'o conf urllist', and retry.

Re: perl -MCPAN checksum mismatch on anything
CPAN now uses ftp or ncftp to download the files and all packages get installed perfectly! Noticed the same problem. Seem that lynx is un-gz'ing the files inline and not removing the .gz, so CPAN tries to do a checksum and un-gz them and errors out. FYI, that didn't work here, so I reduced the download options to wget only. Same problem! Doesn't seem to be a lynx-related thing. I did find this though -- These files are non-functional in context: /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz /root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz /root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz I replaced them with their .baks # cp 01mailrc.txt.gz.bak 01mailrc.txt.gz and that actually eliminated the first batch of errors for me, but didn't cure the tarball checksumming problem. To get around that I copied some relevant tar.gz's from a working mcpan setup on that garbage OS ;) into places like /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/ and similar appropriate distfile homes, which worked on some things, but still ultimately failed all tests on Net::Jabber What the heck is gwine on here I wonder...Thanks for any insights

Why should lynx not download properly ?

Re: perl -MCPAN checksum mismatch on anything
Checksum mismatch for distribution file. Please investigate. I had a similar problem on a fresh 3.7 I noticed that CPAN used lynx to download the sources. This seemed weird to me so I've reconfigured CPAN so that it no longer uses 'lynx' (entered NONE when asked for 'where is lynx'). CPAN now uses ftp or ncftp to download the files and all packages get installed perfectly! Noticed the same problem.

Have exactly the same thing. There was something similar if memory serves right on 3.3 / 3.4. It had to do with the un-zip / tar whatever. It had already been un-whatever; something like this. Or was it a broken perl ?? In any case: yes: no, it does not work. Use the port collection instead ! Uwe
