Are you sure that this is not a typo? `Undefined subroutine &CPAAN::shell called at /usr/bin/cpan line 198.` [download] If you really, really are sure that `CPAAN::shell` is not a typo, go to line 198 of `/usr/bin/cpan` and change `CPAAN` to `CPAN`. You, or somebody else already manually changed things around on this machine. You shouldn't do that with things in `/usr/bin`. Also consider installing your own Perl, or using the Fedora package manager (`rpm`?) to install Perl modules into the Fedora system Perl.

It was a typo not in the file . The file seems to be intact.It is CPAN. I did not try loading the rpm. Any help is appreciated. I manually installed CPAN.still the result is same. How to uninstall CPAN and start form scratch without loading the entire Fedora 10 ???	[reply]
