problems installing modules

AWallBuilder has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

So I'm having problems installing perl modules. Specifically DBD::SQLite.

When using CPAN, I got the following error.

cpan[1]> install Data::Dumper                                         
+                                             
CPAN::SQLite not installed, trying to work without
Malformed urllist; ignoring.  Configuration file corrupt?

`perl -MDBI::DBD::SQLite -e 1 Can't locate DBI/DBD/SQLite.pm in` [download] DBI::DBD::SQLite does not exist, I think you mean DBD::SQLite. If you're looking to instll CPAN::SQLite it will install DBD::SQLite as a dependency, when you have a working cpan... Data::Dumper is a core module, which version of Perl are you using? `D:\>corelist Data::Dumper Data::Dumper was first released with perl 5.005` [download] Check the permissions within `/home/waller/.cpan/`, do you have enough disk space free or other disk related issues? Consider refreshing your cpan configuration: `cpan> o conf init` [download] Also, please use code tags when posting code and data: `<code>your code/data here</code>`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, i think you were right on both accounts. Thanks for spotting the DBI::DBD::SQLite mistake. the other error was related to free disk space	[reply]
