in thread cpanminus installing but not working

According to the cpanminus page. What IrishMonk should have done. Appears to have been:
cd ~/bin curl -LO http://xrl.us/cpanm chmod +x cpanm # edit shebang if you don't have /usr/bin/env
If it were ME, I'd
rm -rf ~/Downloads/App-cpanminus-1.7004 rm -rf ~.cpan/build/App-cpanminus-1.7004-dOsLCQ/
and start over, as described in the POD for cpanminus.
I can't speak to the contents of
/root/.cpanm/work/1401073698.24129/App-cpanminus-1.7004
as I have no idea IrishMonk's permissions/control on this box.

    Thanks for the help everyone!

    Agreed, a restart sounds like a good idea. Better yet, a sip of PerlBrew might work just as well(post-cleanup), but then running on a stick...well, size matters, and some pints hold more than others...

    ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

    Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

    A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...otherwise, the problem is not a problem, it is a facct
