YAY! I was finally able to install the module I needed:

root@mail:~# cpanm Kavorka
--> Working on Kavorka
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TO/TOBYINK/Kavorka-0.037.tar
+.gz ... OK
Configuring Kavorka-0.037 ... OK
Building and testing Kavorka-0.037 ... OK
Successfully installed Kavorka-0.037
1 distribution installed
[download]

...and....

root@mail:~# cpanm Net::Stripe
--> Working on Net::Stripe
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/R/RC/RCONOVER/Net-Stripe-0.30.
+tar.gz ... OK
Configuring Net-Stripe-0.30 ... OK
Building and testing Net-Stripe-0.30 ... OK
Successfully installed Net-Stripe-0.30
1 distribution installed
[download]

That was so painful! Thanks to everyone for walking me through how to sort it. I was loosing hair over that. Also good to learn how to apply patches, as I've never had to do that before

Thanks again!

The Ten Minute Guide to diff and patch is a quick primer. Out of curiosity what was the cause of the failure above?	[reply]

Thanks - will have a read of that! Out of curiosity what was the cause of the failure above? You mean the original error? Or the fact it didn't work for me with your original answer? If the latter, it was because I hadn't cd'd into the correct folder :) Cheers Andy	[reply]

"it was because I hadn't cd'd into the correct folder" Ah, yeah, that was part of the reason for my somewhat long winded answer, illustrating the paths and so on. Perhaps I'll create a mini FAQ as this does come up from time to time, and can be confusing to those who've never used patch before.	[reply]
