When attempting to use the CPAN command line, I am unable to either reload index or install any modules. I am asked for a username and password. If I leave both blank, I get the below error, titled NOUSERPASS. If I put something in the Username and Password (although I'm not even sure what would be considered authorized there) i get the error below labelled USERANDPASS. Has anyone found this problem before? How did you fix it? """NOUSERPASS"""
