Hi People! Had a question for you -- I've been trying to install the latest LWP:UserAgent module through CPAN and am having some problems (I current run Perl V5.8.0 with CPAN on a Win XP box) ...... through CPAN when I type in "install LWP:UserAgent" or "install LWP" I get the following error: 

Subroutine _new_response redefined at D:/Perl/site/lib/LWP\UserAgent.p
+m line 112
7.

CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok

Fetching with LWP: ftp://archive.progeny.com/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK
+/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz

Fetching with LWP:
ftp://archive.progeny.com/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CHECKSUMS

Checksum for y\sources\authors\id\A\AN\ANDK\CPAN-1.63.tar.gz ok

Cannot gzopen y\sources\authors\id\A\AN\ANDK\CPAN-1.63.tar.gz: No such

Basically, I get the "No such file or directory" error in all the different CPAN module installations.
The Config.pm file in my D:\Perl\lib\CPAN looks like this - 

# This is CPAN.pm's systemwide configuration file. This file provides
# defaults for users, and the values can be changed in a per-user
# configuration file. The user-config file is being looked for as
# ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm.

$CPAN::Config = {
  'build_cache' => q[10],
  'build_dir' => q[\.cpan\build\.],
  'cache_metadata' => q[1],
  'cpan_home' => q[\.cpan\.],

Please let me know if some setting is screwed up or something. Thanks, Surya
