Confused about this. From the cpanm build log:

[download]

But, if I run this in the shell:

wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/I/IV/IVAN/Net-SSH-0.09.tar.gz

[download]

the module downloads as expected, and I can install manually.

That's great and all, but then I have to install each dependency manually.

I've deleted the .cpanm and .cpan directories in /root, but I still keep hitting this issue with every module I install. I've tried specifting wget or curl as CL args on cpanm, but they don't seem to be making a difference.

It worked fine when I first installed it, but then just stopped a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure how to debug this one. Any ideas?
