Re^4: Need help with CPAN gone awry

Sorry it took so long to get back on your suggestions. I did the "rpm" you suggested and it came back with:

perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.fc6

and went back to the command prompt. Also, I tried the yum command also and it kicked back with the message, "Nothing to do", which tells me it is installed.

I am really bewildered as to why this does not want to work. Any suggestions that anyone has as to why this isn't working and how to get it to work is greatly appreciated as I am stumped.

Regards, Jeff

I have the same version of perl-Compress-Zlib and no problems whatsoever. Just between reading your note and writing this reply, I did a

cpanflute2 --buildall --test --email "shmem <shmem@cpan.org>" \
/home/shmem/MINICPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/Bundle-CPAN-1.856.tar.gz
...
... # lotsa noise...
...
Wrote: ./perl-Bundle-CPAN-1.856-8.src.rpm
Wrote: ./perl-Bundle-CPAN-1.856-8.noarch.rpm
...
[download]

Then, a rpm -ivh perl-Bundle-CPAN-1.856-8.noarch.rpm and all done (I have a minicpan repository locally in /home/shmem/MINICPAN).

What is your perl package version? I have perl-5.8.8-23.fc7.

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /

");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
