in reply to cpanp - [ERROR] is not a proper distribution name!

Yes, I've seen that, its usually when the arguments given to cpanp are in wrong order, like  cpanp -i --something CGI or some such permutation (not that important) so the more useful error messages that come earlier don't pop up

But why update to such old version ( 0.9114 from 2011 )? The current version is CPANPLUS-0.9142

    1) I'll recheck the args for order.

    2) Typo on my part. 0.9144 is what I meant to type.

    3) Thanks!

      Also try the p command from the shell to see more of the error log :)
