Subject: installing perl modules From: Eileen Orbell <eileen@orbell.com> Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 21:39:22 -0400 I seem to have great errors installing Perl modules. For example if I type: perl -MCPAN -e'install DBD::mysql' It returns There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.57) available! You might want to try install Bundle::CPAN reload cpan without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade while we are running... Trying with "/usr/bin/lynx -source" to get ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz gzip: y/sources/modules/03modlist.data: not in gzip format Going to read y/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz Running make for J/JW/JWIED/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215.tar.gz Trying with "/usr/bin/lynx -source" to get ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215.tar.gz CPAN: MD5 loaded ok Trying with "/usr/bin/lynx -source" to get ftp://ftp.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/CHECKSUMS y/sources/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215.tar.gz: No such file or directory Checksum mismatch for distribution file.
