in thread Can't get CPAN to install anything

Yes - there certainly seems to be something askew.
I see five occurrences of:
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h +arness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
and /usr/bin/perl doesn't look like the perl whose @INC was posted in the original post.

Cheers,
Rob

    Thank you both so much! I ran cpan as you suggested (perl -MCPAN -e shell) and without sudo at the beginning of the command (mostly because I forgot to put it there). This seemed to prompt it to reconfigure itself, as it gave me some setup dialogue when it started.

    With that change, it successfully installed LWP::Simple and Bundle::CPAN.

    Such a relief!

    THANK YOU! This has been making me insane for weeks. I'm so relieved. Thank you.
