in reply to Truble in installing CPAN moduels

Are these mirrors available from the machine you are trying to install modules to? You may want to set up other mirrors using o conf urllist.

EDIT: You may also want to yum install perl-libwww-perl, so CPAN will be able to use system LWP before installing anything else.

Sorry if my advice was wrong.
