in reply to Error When Using CPAN Module

First open cpan and write: cpan> install HTML::EP

and them you will need to answer several questions (the default values for the program inside [])

Enter an email address for sending test mails: [none] Enter a mail server for sending mails: [127.0.0.1] Security: Enter a regular expression for hosts that may enter debuggin +g mode: [^(?:127\.0\.0\.1$|192\.168\.)] Security: Enter a regular expression for files that may be processed b +y EP: [\.ep$] The HTML::EP module can be optimized for fast compilation or fast star +tup. The former is recommended in traditional CGI binaries, the latte +r for mod_perl. Shall I optimize for fast startup, aka mod_perl? [y] Enter the default language, for example de (German) or en (English): +[de]
It could be interesting to discuss a little about best alternatives to fill the Security questions, żany idea?

    The best alternative to what? New questions go in Seekers of Perl Wisdom, see Where should I post X?

      Well, that's only an idea that I think could enrich this post, I retire the offending question them, please forget all about it

      If OP can't run cpan them he/she should install cpan before (obviously), I was (erroneusly) assuming that cpan was already installed.

        cpan is obviously installed (it comes with perl), how else would cpan give OP an error message and then exit
