Re: CPAN Install Problem (install Bundle::LWP)

It looks to me like you have some corrupt data in your .cpan directory. I'd blow it away and try again:

   $ rm -rf /home/user/.cpan
   $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
[download]

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Ahh, that worked. It seemed that my Config.pm for CPAN was bad, the http_proxy should have been 'http://myproxy.com:90' instead I had 'myproxy.com:90'. When I ran any intall for the first time I get an "proxy error 501" and the second time and on I get the errors I posted above. CPAN & Perlmonks RULE!!!	[reply]

How to do this in Windows OS? The first command simply removed the ".cpan" directory. In windows you could achieve the same with: `rmdir /s /q C:/full/path/to/.cpan` [download] but it might be better to simply rename that directory to (say) ".cpan_hide" (or to just delete it to the recycle bin). That way the original .cpan directory is still retrievable. For the second command, I'd try running it unchanged: `perl -MCPAN -e shell` [download] which should hopefully take you through the process of configuring your new ".cpan" directory. However, I'm no expert on CPAN.pm. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
