Hello Monks,

I'm trying to work up my game on a raspberry pi, a verifiable neophyte. So far, I'm trying to keep it running with the software as it came out of the package, because I am finding it equal amounts incredible, entertaining, and challenging.

I found some syntax that got me unstuck with updating:

sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

followed by

sudo apt -y full-upgrade

I realize that you can paste those commands together with &&, but that's hubris for the likes of me. Along the way, I also did:

install CPAN reload CPAN

Trying to cover all the bases with necessary headers:

sudo apt-get install perl-doc build-essential

, and now I seem to be hung up on CPAN. This is not the first time recently that I've been hung up on CPAN, and I think some of it derives from the unusual measures that 2.29 addresses. I got stuck in what looks to be a similar mire with my droplet recently, and I ended up having to hit the reset button, which I do not want to do with this neato OS.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Raspbian
Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release:    10

When I'm directed to man apt-secure, I read:

       Notice that this is distinct from checking signatures on a per 
+package
       basis. It is designed to prevent two possible attacks:

       •   Network "man in the middle" attacks. Without signature chec
+king,
           malicious agents can introduce themselves into the package 
+download
           process and provide malicious software either by controllin
+g a
           network element (router, switch, etc.) or by redirecting tr
+affic to
           a rogue server (through ARP or DNS spoofing attacks).

       •   Mirror network compromise. Without signature checking, a ma
+licious
           agent can compromise a mirror host and modify the files in 
+it to
           propagate malicious software to all users downloading packa
+ges from
           that host.

It would seem that these are similar to the considerations that pushed 2.29. Right now, I can't download any perl modules, and I'm scratching my head as to why. I try to recreate the cpan info faithfully, which means that it will be verbose, so I'll put that part in readmore tags for the intrepid:

So, I thought that I walked through the new dialog for 2.29 correctly. I use an alias to invoke cpan:

$ alias sc
alias sc='sudo cpan'
$
[download]

$ sc
Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging

Starting with version 2.29 of the cpan shell, a new download mechanism
is the default which exclusively uses cpan.org as the host to download
from. The configuration variable pushy_https can be used to (de)select
the new mechanism. Please read more about it and make your choice
between the old and the new mechanism by running

    o conf init pushy_https

Once you have done that and stored the config variable this dialog
will disappear.
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

To fix that, maybe try>  install Term::ReadLine::Perl


cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.29)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan[1]> o conf init pushy_https
Boolean. Defaults to true. If this option is true, the cpan shell will
use https://cpan.org/ to download stuff from the CPAN. It will fall
back to http://cpan.org/ if it can't handle https for some reason
(missing modules, missing programs). Whenever it falls back to the
http protocol, it will issue a warning.

If this option is true, the option C<urllist> will be ignored.
Consequently, if you want to work with local mirrors via your own
configured list of URLs, you will have to choose no below.

 <pushy_https>
Do you want to turn the pushy_https behaviour on? [yes] 


Please remember to call 'o conf commit' to make the config permanent!

cpan[2]> o conf commit
commit: wrote '/root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm'

cpan[3]> q
Terminal does not support GetHistory.
Lockfile removed.
$ 
$ sudo grep pushy /root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
  'pushy_https' => q[1],
$
[download]

Then:

reload CPAN

I think that I've gotten it but then I find myself back in the same Charybdis:

So I need Net::SSLeahy to install it, and I'm at checkmate.

Nothing looks fishy or out of place with openssl:

I think I've got the resources to make it work. Looking for any tips on how to get CPAN unstuck. Do I need headers?

Anyways, fishing for tips, tricks, and best policies. I hope this finds you all well, in particular those who are proximal to conflict.
