Re: Re: cpan shell

I have the CPAN shell. But it doesn't seem to work. For example:





 [redd@redden redd]$ perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.61)

  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.63) available!
  [Current version is v1.61]
  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
  without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrad

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.
