Hi,

i have problems updating CPAN with the CPAN-shell. I hope this is a right place for asking such stuff. On CPAN itself i didn't find an appropriate mailing list. If i'm wrong here, please inform me and maybe you know where is a better place to ask. I'm not a developer, i'm a system administrator, my knowledge of perl tends to zero. I have a SLES 11 SP4 64bit with perl 5.10.0. When i start CPAN, it recommends to update:

  New CPAN.pm version (v2.10) available.
  [Currently running version is v1.9205]
  You might want to try
    install CPAN
    reload cpan
  to both upgrade CPAN.pm and run the new version without leaving
  the current session.

I tried it already several times. So i deleted all stuff under ~/.cpan/build and also the Metadate file in ~/.cpan before executing the cpan shell again. The first error i get:

...

This error i get 4 times. I also get:

How can i check which host it is ? The result of the compiling is:
