Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I am now trying to setup my own perl and then try installing CPAN modules there. Since we already have perl 5.8.6 installed in a folder called "perl5", I made a copy of that in another folder called "perl5.8". Will this cause any issues?
Also, when try to invoke CPAN, it starts initiazing the configuration file in "perl5" folder. How can I start it in teh 5.8 folder? Thanks
