Re: CPAN broken after update

Your machine / resp. HTTP::Tiny cannot verify the SSL certificates, and the new CPAN really wants to do that.

My suggestion is to install appropriately recent SSL certificates, or to restore CPAN.pm from backup, or if that's not possible, to install an older version of CPAN.pm which does not verfiy SSL certificates.

Thanks guys I know the real fix is to get the SSL certs working as they should. But for today, can you suggest how to connect with http? I tried two methods (in thread) changing the config, and -M, neither works?	[reply]

Given the urgency can't you just use cpanm to install what you need, and address the cpan issue later (if still required at all after using cpanm)?	[reply]

This is fallout from https://github.com/chansen/p5-http-tiny/issues/152 The commit that changed things to not work for you is https://github.com/andk/cpanpm/commit/9c98370287f4e709924aee7c58ef21c85289a7f0 All you need to do is edit lib/CPAN/HTTP/Client.pm and change it back, and CPAN should resume working, until you can get your trust store and/or libssl fixed.

I copied CPAN.pm from an old system (1.98) but have the exact same error. Strangely.. And CPAN works on that system.. But it is not behind a proxy....	[reply]
