in reply to Broken CPAN.pm setup

What happens if you remove CPAN::Config (temporarily; back it up first) and then try to run CPAN from the shell again?

    • It took me through the init sequence again.
    • It displayed: commit: wrote /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN/Config.pm
    • The CPAN shell responded as before (no improvement)
    • When I exited, it had erased the backup Config.pm.bak in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN (next time I'll put it someplace else)
    Would it help to paste in Config.pm here? (It looks like I 'spose it oughta.)
