Subject: installing perl modules

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...

I'd recommend removing

to
be a bogus file. Maybe you have configured your `urllist' with a
bad URL. Please check this array with `o conf urllist', and
retry.
