Re: Problem installing Text::Diff

Just out of curiosity, why do you specify the author's cpan path? I had no problem with

cpan>  install Text::Diff
[download]

instead of

cpan>   install A/AD/ADAMK/Text-Diff-1.37.tar.gz
[download]

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Why did I specify the author's path? Well, hmmm, I am following directions in an install file and didn't know you can do it another way.... By the way what seemed to be the issue was that T/TY/TYEMQ/Algorithm-Diff-1.1902.tar.gz is a perquisite. I installed it and then Text::Diff and it works	[reply]
