Please igonre previous post.
I found out one ftp server which has this file MIRRORED.BY
ftp://cpan.digisle.net/pub/CPAN
When I complete the wizard, it gives the error
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::DOM'
Going to read /tmp/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
FAILED --decompress --stdout /tmp/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz: exit status 256 at /opt/perl5/lib/CPAN.pm lin

What do I do? | [reply] |
Do you have the GNU gzip utility ? (try running gzip from a shell prompt)
If it is not installed on your system you can grab a copy here and install it (and take the .Z package):
- http://hpux.cict.fr/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.3.3/
Then launch perl -MCPAN -e shell and type o conf init to reconfigure CPAN and take care when it ask you for the "gzip" program path ...

looks like it failed accessing 'your favorite' compression utility. try running the -e shell instead of the -e install SOME::MODULE, it's possible the module isn't available on that mirror. I am no 'expert at using CPAN at the shell but when you get to the cpan> shell you should be able to type h or help for more info on the commands.
