in reply to cpan shell

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

locate CPAN.pm

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

      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.

      Ciao!

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

      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.
