Hi ikegami. Thanks for the interest. It's going to be impossible for me to provide the original error messages because I've had to endure a Windows shutdown / restart (the monthly crap) and in the process lost the terminal where the output appeared—I was connected to the linux system over ssh.

I'll do what I can to reproduce the results I saw, later.


~$ type -p cpanm
/usr/local/bin/cpanm

~$ head -1 "$( type -p cpanm )"
#!/usr/bin/env perl

~$ type -p perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

That's what's happening today on the Linux box in question. I'm having an amnesia-belabored day and hoping that what I was doing several days ago will just come back to me.
