CPAN.pm can't find my Snapshot

stew has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I'm trying to load a bunch of modules from CPAN that were packaged using the autobundle feature

I've tried this

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08_00'
[download]

and this

cpan> i /Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08_00/
[download]

The snapshot is saved in my .cpan directory which I've confirmed by

cpan>  o conf cpan_home               
    cpan_home          /home/root2/.cpan
[download]

But CPAN.pm keeps telling me

Warning: Cannot install Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08_00, don't know wha
+t it is.
Try the command

    i /Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08_00/

to find objects with matching identifiers.
[download]

or this

No objects found of any type for argument /Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08
+_00/
[download]

Any ideas?

It should work...try turning on debug information with "o debug all". Update: to be more specific, do: `cpan> o debug all cpan> b Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08_00` [download] Just to clarify, you should have the snapshot as file: /home/root2/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2004_01_08_00.pm Is the that file there?

It seems that you have to specify an additional include path to the directory containt the bundle, e.g. `perl -I/home/you/.cpan -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Snapshot_2004_01_08_00'`	[reply] [d/l]
