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

Hi, I have a system admin problem. I installed the CPAN shell. Then I pulled out and to my surprise I can not activate it again by typing cpan on the command line. Any tips?

    • What are you typing exactly?
    • What OS?
    I know only the Linux answer though:
    type
    perl -MCPAN -e shell

    --
    tune

      Great. That works.
