Cpanm error message - not in range

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

I am trying to get to grips with installing modules from Cpan. I have installed Cpan minus - it works well.

But trying to install Email::Sender,when it attempts to install the dependency MakeMaker it reports an error

installing the dependencies failed:
Installed version(6.55_02)of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
is not in range '6.59'
[download]

and it bails out. What can I do about this? Thanks.

Have you tried upgrading ExtUtils::MakeMaker before installing Email::Sender which failed because of the outdated ExtUtils::MakeMaker you currently have installed? The current release which was released earlier this month is 7.02.	[reply]
