I also have a bunch of perl modules and I install all through cpan. It sometimes fail but it's a rare event and always due to a bad distribution (I can think of Math::Pari for example that has a broken link). Well there is IMHO a bug in the latest version as it dies in an eval when installing IPC::Run which is needed for spamassassin I think. What problem do you have? Cheers, Nadim.
