in thread Module installation can be harmful

Known problem.

It was a bug in CPAN in 5.005_03. The bug was not discovered until after 5.6.0 was out and people were being forcibly upgraded. It was fixed in the 5.6.1 release.

Upgrading CPAN.pm first would have solved it.

    Except that toma is not using CPAN.pm to install the module from CPAN. Why would you use CPAN on Windows? (it's waaaay too buggy to do anything useful ~ CPANPLUS is nice, but it's currently lacking PPM support ~ can't wait for the next release)

      While i agree totally about using CPANPLUS, I have to disagree about CPAN under windows. It works pretty well for me. Admitedly not everything builds successfully. BTW What OS flavour?
