in thread What Just Happened to my CPAN Shell?

I didn't look up the code itself, because I was hoping someone else might have seen the same thing (which it looks like they have, from an earlier comment). The CPAN is version 1.9205.

    I get the same error:
    Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method main::version::(""() is depre +cated at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 10254.

    I just upgraded a bunch of modules on a box being prepared for production use. CPAN.pm is now 1.9205, and ExtUtils::MakeMaker is now 6.42 (both were upgraded, and one or both is contributing to the problem).

    Using the CPAN shell, I can list the modules needing upgrading, and then upgrade one module. Any subsequent upgrades or lists of upgrades fail with the above error. If I exit the shell and restart it, I can perform the next upgrade. Installation of modules seems to be okay, until an upgrade takes place, and then installation fails too.
      I also just upgraded/added a bunch of modules using CPAN (1.9205). I get similar errors, but have been able to fix one of them by installing an older version of Parse::RecDescent:
      cpan[12]> m Parse::RecDescent Catching error: 'Can\'t locate auto/main/version/("".al in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/sun4-solaris /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8 /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/sun4-solaris /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/site +_perl /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8) at /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/CPAN +.pm line 10254 ' at /opt/perl/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/CPAN.pm line 281 CPAN::shell() called at -e line 1
      Now this works.

      I was tipped to this when building Module::ExtractUse (0.22):

      This hasn't completely fixed the problem, but I'm getting fewer errors.
