in thread trouble with CPAN installing stuff: LWP 500 error

OK, that basic idea seemed to solve the version problem, but I had to make a few changes to make it work (there was no "Build" series) without fully logging in as root...
sudo /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL sudo make sudo make test sudo make install
However, now I have a new problem installing Image::Magick, but that's a separate issue. Thanks to all for the help.

    Odd, because I took the commands from the distro's README. I'll file a report.

    sudo is only needed on the last one.

      version stopped using Module::Build with recent releases because of things like this. The README file is very likely an oversight.
