    OK I tried the following command .... but now its asking me my favorite cpan site. when I try http://www.cpan.org it says cannot find MIRRORED.BY.
    What do I enter for this value?
      Please igonre previous post. I found out one ftp server which has this file MIRRORED.BY

      ftp://cpan.digisle.net/pub/CPAN

      When I complete the wizard, it gives the error

      # perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::DOM' Going to read /tmp/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz FAILED --decompress --stdout /tmp/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz: exit status 256 at /opt/perl5/lib/CPAN.pm lin e 449
      What do I do?
        Do you have the GNU gzip utility ? (try running gzip from a shell prompt)
        If it is not installed on your system you can grab a copy here and install it (and take the .Z package):
        - http://hpux.cict.fr/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.3.3/

        Then launch perl -MCPAN -e shell and type o conf init to reconfigure CPAN and take care when it ask you for the "gzip" program path ...
        looks like it failed accessing 'your favorite' compression utility. try running the -e shell instead of the -e install SOME::MODULE, it's possible the module isn't available on that mirror. I am no 'expert at using CPAN at the shell but when you get to the cpan> shell you should be able to type h or help for more info on the commands.
