in reply to CPAN Lock File Issue

Its simple, this file does not exist  '/~/.cpan/FTPstats.yml'

Why is your version of cpan configured to look for that file? Its a mystery ... usually its "~/.cpan" which expands to /usr/home/username/.cpan ... try configuring/specifying an absolute path

Go fish :)

    Thank you for weighing in, though it is odd. It creates an empty file for FTPstats.yml. I can delete the file and it will create it again. Not sure what should be contained in that file, but it's there under ~/.cpan/
