Try this, exit the cpan shell and rename your .cpan directory to .cpan.backup, then try again.

Didn't work, but one thing I noticed when doing this is that I have a `/usr/local/lib64/perl5` and a `/usr/local/share/perl5`, and there is (was) some overlap. One or the other was probably created by me as an option when running `cpan` for the first time, although I could not find a reference to it in the old ".cpan.bk". So I merged the two and left a symlink, then tried tobyink's suggestion. Not sure which of those did the trick, but it now works.	[reply] [d/l]
