Things don't work at all - it's not a valid url for CPAN I tried ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/mirrors/CPAN/ (actually I deleted .cpan and all copies of CPAN::Config.pm and restarted my CPAN.pm config from scratch with this url) this gives me: Strange distribution name [Template]Module id = Template DESCRIPTION Extensive Toolkit for template processing CPAN_USERID ABW (Andy Wardley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) CPAN_VERSION undef CPAN_FILE Contact Author Andy Wardley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSLI_STATUS RdpO (released,developer,perl,object-oriented) INST_FILE (not installed) Hmm. cpan> install Template Running install for module Template The module Template isn't available on CPAN. Either the module has not yet been uploaded to CPAN, or it is temporary unavailable. Please contact the author to find out more about the status. Try 'i Template'. It's really broken I tell you. Later. Mark. -- Mark Fowler Technology Developer http://www.indicosoftware.com/
