If that doesn't help, perhaps let us know what problems you are having, and any error messages, and some kind Monk can give you a hand.

you might want to start with CPANPLUS. it's a much better alternative, in my opinion. see kudra's homenode for more links.

That sounds quite strange, since the CPAN module is a bundled one: if you have perl on your system you really should have CPAN, too.

Which distribution are you using? Does

return anything?

I have the CPAN shell. But it doesn't seem to work. For example:
Read more... (5 kB)

Ah!

I think you need to reconfigure your CPAN module: look at this:

    cpan_home          y
[download]

It seems that you answered "y" to the question that asked where to put the cpan cache; being "y" a relative path, it will mess things up if the module does chdir somewhere. Just reconfigure and put something a reasonable path in, e.g. /var/cache/cpan. It should work.

}

Yes, it returns:

<ht000@tortuga:/home/ht000:!>$ oc$ locate CPAN.pm
bash: locate: command not found
<ht000@tortuga:/home/ht000:!>$ oc$

;-P

BTW:

uname -a
OSF1 tortuga.foa.dk V4.0 1229 alpha

How do I solve this problem? Do I need to change the bash setup? Time for me to look back at my linux book I think.
