Hi,

I installed manually the CPAN and getting the errors as shown below, Please let me know what I am missing (i know Makemaker and I installed and installed the module it fails when i make it.). Actually, I need ftp module from cpan, or if someone know if i can use ftp without even installing cpan.Thanks in advance for any help.
