cpan> install Cwd Running install for module Cwd Running make for G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.0.tar.gz The most recent version "2.02" of the module "Cwd" comes with the current version of perl (5.6.0). I'll build that only if you ask for something like force install Cwd or install G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.0.tar.gz
